FORMat[:DATA] <TransferFormat>[, <Length>]
Selects the format for numeric data transferred to and from the analyzer.
Note: The format setting is only valid for commands and queries whose description
states that the response is formatted as described by FORMat[:DATA]. In particular, it
affects trace data transferred by means of the commands in the TRACe:... system.
Parameters:
<TransferFormat> ASCii | REAL
ASCii - numeric data is transferred as ASCII bytes. The numbers
are separated by commas as specified in IEEE 488.2.
REAL - Data is transferred in a definite length block as IEEE
floating point numbers of the specified <Length>. See Chap-
ter 6.2.3.5, "Block data format", on page 816.
Note: If binary data is transferred to the analyzer, the receive
terminator should be set to EOI (SYSTem:COMMunicate:
GPIB[:SELF]:RTERminator EOI) to avoid inadvertent inter-
ruption of the data transfer.
<Length> The optional <Length> parameter is needed for REAL format
only. It defines the length of the floating point numbers in bits.
Valid values are 32 and 64.
*RST: ASCII. The default length of REAL data is 32 bits
(single precision).
Example:
FORM REAL, 32
Select real data format.
SYST:COMM:GPIB:RTER EOI
Set the terminator to EOI.
(During a calibration) ... CORR:CDAT?
'REFLTRACK',1,0
Query a system error correction term. The data is transferred in
a definite length block which can be written to a file; the analyzer
displays the message "<no> bytes binary data received".
7.3.7 HCOPy commands
The HCOPy... commands control the output of screen information to an external
device. Part of the functionality of this system is included in the "File" menu.
