Data Format
The data output format depends on the measurement mode as shown below.
High Speed Spot Data <terminator> (by TI or TV command)
Time,Data <terminator> (by TTI or TTV command)
Data is the value measured by the channel you specify by using the TI, TV, TTI, or
TTV command. Time is the time from when the timer count is cleared until the
measurement is started.
Spot Data1 [,Data2] . . . . <terminator>
DataN (N: integer) is the value measured by a channel. The order of Data is defined
by the MM command.
Pulsed Spot,
Quasi-Pulsed Spot
Data <terminator>
Data is the value measured by the channel you specify by using the MM command.
Staircase Sweep,
Multi Channel
Sweep
Block1 [,Block2] . . . . <terminator>
Block1 is the block of data measured at the first sweep step. Block2 is the block of
data measured at the second sweep step.
where Block consists of the following data:
Data1 [,Data2] . . . . [,Source_data]
DataN (N: integer) is the value measured by a channel. The order of Data is defined
by the MM command.
Source_data is the sweep source output value. It is sent if the data output is enabled
by the FMT command.
