IEEE-488 Reference
4-87
REAL,64 or DREal will select the binary IEEE754 double precision data format and is shown
in Figure 4-21 (normal byte order shown). This format is similar to the single precision format
except that it is 64 bits long.

Normal byte order shown. For swapped byte order,
bytes sent in reverse order: Header, Byte 4, Byte 3,
Byte 2, Byte 1.
The Header is only sent once for each measurement conversion.
