Used for binary block transfers only. Select the byte order for binary
transfers in the block mode using the DATA:DAC command. The default is
NORM. The :FORM:BORD? query returns “NORM” or “SWAP”. In NORM
byte order (default), the most-significant byte (MSB) of each data point is
assumed first. In SWAP byte order, the least-significant byte (LSB) of each
data point is assumed first. Most computers use the “swapped” byte order.
The instrument represents binary data as signed 16-bit integers, which are
sent as two bytes. Therefore, each waveform data point requires 16 bits,
which must be transferred as two bytes on the instrument’s interfaces.
