FORMat Subsystem
This subsystem applies only to the 34465A and 34470A.
Command Summary
FORMat:BORDer
FORMat[:DATA]
FORMat:BORDer {NORMal|SWAPped}
FORMat:BORDer?
Used for binary block transfers only. Selects the byte order for binary block transfers using MEASure?,
READ?, FETCh?, DATA:REMove? and R?.
Parameter Typical
Return
{NORMal|SWAPped} (see bullet points below). Default: NORM. NORM
Select the swapped byte order:
FORMat:BORDer SWAP
l Applies only to the 34465A and 34470A.
l
In the NORMal byte order (default) the most-significant byte (MSB) of each data point is assumed first.
l
In the SWAPped byte order the least-significant byte (LSB) of each data point is assumed first. Most
PCs use the "swapped" byte order.
l
The byte order setting is stored in non-volatile memory and does not change when power has been
off. The default value is restored after a Factory Reset (*RST), or after an Instrument Preset
(SYSTem:PRESet).
FORMat[:DATA] {ASCii|REAL} [, <length>]
FORMat[:DATA]?
Specifies the data format to be either ASCII or REAL. Affects the data format of the MEASure?, READ?,
FETCh?, DATA:REMove? and R? commands only.
Parameter Typical Return
<length> ASCii: "9" or REAL: "64" ASC,9
Specify the 64-bit REAL data format:
FORM:DATA REAL,64 or FORM:DATA REAL
