:FORMat:BORDer
This command is effective when the data output format is set to the IEEE-754
binary format by using the
:FORMat[:DATA] command. This command sets the
byte order of binary output data.
Syntax :FORMat:BORDer byte_order
:FORMat:BORDer?
Parameter byte_order NORMal (default)|SWAPped. Parameter data type is CPD.
byte_order=NORMal sets the normal byte order. For the IEEE-754 single precision
format, byte 1 to byte 4 are sent in this order. For the IEEE-754 double precision
format, byte 1 to byte 8 are sent in this order.
byte_order=SWAPped sets the reverse byte order. For the IEEE-754 single precision
format, byte 4 to byte 1 are sent in this order. For the IEEE-754 double precision
format, byte 8 to byte 1 are sent in this order.
Query response byte_order <newline>
byte_order returns NORM or SWAP. Response data type is CRD.
Example :FORM:BORD SWAP
:FORM:BORD?
:FORMat[:DATA]
Sets the data output format. See “Data Output Format” on page 1-12.
Syntax :FORMat [:DATA] format
:FORMat [:DATA]?
Parameter format Data output format. Parameter data type is CPD.
ASCii|REAL,32|REAL,64. RERL,64 is only for the default
language mode set by the :SYST:LANG “DEF” command.
