Keysight E4980A - ASCII Format; BINARY Format

Keysight E4980A/AL Precision LCR Meter 261
Overview of Remote Control
Data Transfer
The data output formats for <DATA A> (primary parameter’s measurement
data), and <DATA B> (secondary parameter’s measurement data) uses the
12-ASCII character fixed-length format as follows.
SN.NNNNNESNN (S:+/-, N: 0 to 9, E: Exponent Sign, LONG OFF)
SN.NNNNNNNNNESNN (S:+/-, N: 0 to 9, E: Exponent Sign, LONG ON)
• <STATUS> Format:
The <STATUS> data shows the status of measurement data as follows.
-1: No data (in the data buffer memory)
0: Normal measurement data
+1: Overload
+3: Signal source overloaded
+4: ALC (auto level control) unable to regulate
The data output formats for <STATUS> uses the two-ASCII character
fixed-length format as follows.
SN (S:+/-, N: 0 to 4)
• <BIN No.> Format:
The <BIN No.> shows the bin sorting results as follows.
0: OUT_OF_BINS
+1 to +9: BIN 1 to BIN 9
+10: AUX_BIN
The <BIN No.> data is output with the measurement data only when the
comparator function is set to on.
The data output formats for <BIN No.> uses a two- or three-ASCII character
data-length format as follows.
SN or SNN (S:+/-, N: 0 to 9)
When the <STATUS> is -1 or 1, the measurement data are given as 9.9E37.
When the <STATUS> is 0, 3, or 4, however, the actual measurement data
are output.
