FORMat Subsystem 6
N1911A/1912A P-Series Power Meters Programming Guide 265
FORMat[:READings][:DATA] <character_data>
This command sets the data format for transferring numeric information to either
ASCii or REAL:
– When the format type is ASCii, numeric data is output as ASCII bytes in the
<NR3> format.
– When the format type is REAL, numeric data is output as IEEE 754 64 bit
floating point numbers in a definite length block. The result is an 8 byte block
per number. Each complete block is terminated by a line feed character.
For the N1912A power meter the same FORMat is used on both channels.
