FORMat3:BORDer {NORMal|SWAPped}
FORMat3:BORDer?
Used for binary block transfers only. Sets the byte order for binary block transfers using FETCh3? command.
This SCPI is supported on the DAQM909A Digitizer module only.
Parameter Typical return
{NORMal |SWAPped }
Default: NORMal
NORMal
– In the NORMal byte order (default) the most-significant byte (MSB) of each data point is assumed first.
– In the SWAPped byte order the least-significant byte (LSB) of each data point is assumed first. Most PCs use the
"swapped" byte order.
FORMat3[:DATA] {ASCii|REAL} [, <length>]
FORMat3[:DATA]?
This SCPI is supported on the DAQM909A Digitizer module only.
Sets the data format to be either ASCII or REAL. Affects the data format of the FETCh3? command.
Parameter Typical return
{ASCii|REAL}
Default: ASC
ASC,9
Sets the data format as ASCII
FORM:DATA ASC
– If ASCii is specified, numeric data is transferred as ASCii characters. The numbers are separated by commas as
specified in IEEE 488.2. The <length> parameter is optional, but "9" is the default and only allowed value, and the
instrument returns 9 significant digits (for example: +4.57553816E-05).
– If REAL is specified, numeric data is transferred as REAL binary data in IEEE 488.2 definite-length block format.
The <length> parameter is optional, but "32" is the default and only allowed value. The byte order is controlled by
FORMat3:BORDer.
