8-39 Command Reference
:FORMat :SMAXCNT-91
8 <Numeric value>
Upper Limit for Array Size
Sets or queries the upper limit for :FETCh:ARRay? MAX command in number of
samples. The command is intended for use with any controllers or application pro
-
grams that cannot read large amounts of data, when the functionality of the
:FETCh:ARRay? MAX command is still interesting.
Parameter: Integer N, where 4 £ N £ 10000
Returned format: <Numeric value)¿
Power ON default value: 10000
*
RST condition:
Not affected
Format Examples:
The response formats for REAL and PACKed are described on page 8-34, but also
depend on the setting of FORMAT:BORDer. If you are using an Intel platform, you
will either have to swap all bytes, or set FORMAT:BORDER SWAP to get lit

tle-endian byte order as opposed to the normal big-endian order.
Here is a sample with the same measurement result in various formats:

The bit pattern is interpreted as #18<Val>,#18<TS>\n. Val and TS are 64-bit dou-
ble precision floating point numbers, least significant byte first.

The bit pattern is interpreted as #216<Val><TS>\n. Val is a 64-bit double precision
floating point number, while TS is a 64 bit integer with number of picoseconds
since a reference time, least significant byte first.
