Query :BORDer? Query byte order
Description This command is used to control the byte order for the IEEE-754 binary
formats. For normal byte order, the data format for each element is sent
as follows:
Byte 1 Byte 2 Byte 3 Byte 4 (Single precision)
For reverse byte order, the data format for each element is sent as
follows:
Byte 4 Byte 3 Byte 2 Byte 1 (Single precision)
The “#0” Header is not affected by this command. The Header is always
sent at the beginning of the data string for each measurement
conversion.
The ASCII data format can only be sent in the normal byte order. The
SWAPped selection is simply ignored when the ASCII format is
selected.
NOTE The SWAPped byte order must be used when transmitting binary data to any
IBM PC compatible computer.
