7.3.5 FORMat Commands
Set a data format for transferring numeric and array information from and to the R&S
CMW500.
FORMat:BASE[:DATA]...................................................................................................208
FORMat:BASE[:DATA] <Format>, [<Length>]
Selects the format for numeric data transferred to and from the R&S CMW500.
The format setting is only valid for commands and queries whose description states that
the response is formatted as described by FORMat:BASE:DATA. In particular, it affects
the results of the GPRF "I/Q Recorder" measurement.
Parameters:
<Format> 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 float-
ing point numbers of the specified <Length>. See Block Data For-
mat.
<Length> This optional parameter is needed for REAL format only. It defines
the length of the floating point numbers in bits. The R&S CMW500
supports 32-bit (4-byte) numbers.
