:WAVeform:FORMat?
Description
Set or query the return format of the waveform data.
Parameter
Name Type Range Default
<format> Discrete {WORD|BYTE|ASCii} BYTE
Explanation
 WORD: each waveform point occupies two bytes (namely 16 bits). The lower 8 bits are valid and the
higher 8 bits are 0.
 BYTE: each waveform point occupies one byte (namely 8 bits).
 ASCii: return the voltage value of each waveform point in character value format. The voltage values
are separated by commas.
Return Format
The query returns WORD, BYTE, or ASC.
:WAVeform:POINts
Syntax
:WAVeform:POINts <point>
:WAVeform:POINts?
Description

Parameter
Name Type Range Default
<point> Integer
NORMal: 1 to 1400
MAXimum: 1 to the number of effective points currently on the
screen
RAW: 1 to the current maximum memory depth
1400
Explanation
The number of waveform points is limited by the current reading mode of waveform (refer to
the
:WAVeform:MODE command).
Return Format
The query returns the number of waveform points to be read in integer.
