Readout Format
When :FORMat:TINFormation is set to
ON, the readout will consist of two val-
ues instead of one for :FETCh:SCALar?,
:READ:SCALar? and :MEASure:SCA-
Lar?.
The first will be the measured value, ex-
pressed in the basic unit of the measure-
ment function, and the next one will be
the timestamp value in seconds.
In :FORMat ASCii mode, the result will
be given as a floating-point number, fol
-
lowed by a floating point timestamp
value.
In :FORMat REAL mode, the result will
be given as an eight-byte block contain
-
ing the floating-point measured value,
followed by an eight-byte block contain
-
ing the floating-point timestamp value.
When doing readouts in array form, with
:FETCh :ARRay?, :READ :ARRay? or
:MEASure :ARRay?, the response will
consist of alternating measurement values
and timestamp values, formatted in a sim
-
ilar way as for scalar readout. All values
will be separated by commas.
An overview of the different output for
-
mats can be gained by studying
Chapter 8, Command Reference.
