The remote control address is factory-set to 20, but it can be changed if it does not fit
in the network environment. For remote control, addresses 0 through 30 are allowed.
The GPIB address is maintained after a reset of the instrument settings. Be aware that
changing the address has major effects on the communication to the remote computer.
Remote command:
GPIB:ADDRess on page 1156
Terminator

ment to the controlling computer.
Waveform data can be retrieved using the following commands:
●
CHANnel<m>[:WAVeform<n>]:DATA[:VALues]?
●
CALCulate:MATH<m>:DATA[:VALues]?
●
REFCurve<m>:DATA[:VALues]?
●
DIGital<m>:DATA[:VALues]?
The content of the data stream can be defined with "Menu" > "Save/Recall" > "Save >
Waveforms > Interleaved X/Y" (or EXPort:WAVeform:INCXvalues).
"Ascii"
Data values are returned in ASCII format as a list of comma separa-
ted values in floating point format.
"FLOAT"
Binary format. The data is stored as binary data (Definite Length
Block Data according to IEEE 488.2).
