Keysight B2961A/B2962A SCPI Command Reference, Edition 6 1- 13
Programming Basics
Data Output Format
terminator (1 byte). An 8-byte data is used for each data element. Each element
consists of a fraction (bits 0 (LSB) to 51), exponent (bits 52 to 62), and sign (bit
63).
Order of bytes set by :FORMat:BORDer NORMal (default): byte 1 to 8
Order of bytes set by :FORMat:BORDer SWAPped: byte 8 to 1
NaN indicates “not a number”.
+infinity indicates positive infinity.
-infinity indicates negative infinity.
Status Data
B2961A/B2962A sends the status data with the result data if it is specified by the
:FORMat:ELEMents:SENSe or :FORMat:ELEMents:CALCulate command.
The status data is given by a binary-weighted sum of all bits set in the binary data.
For example, if bit 3 (decimal value = 8) and bit 5 (decimal value = 32) are set to 1,
the status data returns 40.
Bit definitions of the status data are shown in Table 1-2. This table shows the
meaningful bits only. Ignore the other bits.
