FORMat:BORDer
Syntax
FORMat:BORDer {NORMal | SWAPped}
FORMat:BORDer?
Description
Used for binary block transfers only (FORMat:DATA REAL set). This command selects the byte order for
binary block transfers using the MEASure?, READ?, FETCh?, DATA:REMove? and R?commands.
l
In the NORMal byte order, the most-significant byte (MSB) of each data point is sent first (big-endian
byte order).
l
In the SWAPped byte order, the least-significant byte (LSB) of each data point is sent first (little-endian
byte order). Most PCs use the "swapped" byte order.
Remarks
l The instrument selects NORMal byte order after a Factory Reset (*RST command) or an Instrument Pre-
set (SYSTem:PRESet command).
Return Format
The query returns the byte order: NORM or SWAP.
Examples
The following example enables the "swapped" byte order mode.
