:FORMat:BORDer <Border>
Determines the sequence of bytes within a binary block. This only affects blocks which
use the IEEE754 format internally.
Parameters:
<Border> NORMal | SWAPped
NORMal
The instrument expects (with setting commands) and sends (with
queries) the least significant byte of each IEEE754 floating-point
number first and the most significant byte last.
SWAPped
The instrument expects (with setting commands) and sends (with
queries) the most significant byte of each IEEE754 floating-point
number first and the least significant byte last.
*RST: NORMal
Example:
FORM:BORD SWAP
the data is transferred with the most significant bit first.
:FORMat[:DATA] <Data>
Determines the data format which the R&S Signal Generator uses to return data. When
data is transferred from the control computer to the instrument, the instrument detects
the data format automatically. In this case, the value set here is irrelevant.
Parameters:
<Data> ASCii | PACKed
ASCii
Numerical data is transferred as plain text separated by commas.
PACKed
Numerical data is transferred as binary block data. The format
within the binary data depends on the command. The various
binary data formats are explained in the description of the param-
eter types.
*RST: ASCii
Example:
FORM ASC
The data is transferred as ASCII data.
:FORMat:SREGister <Format>
Determines the numerical format which is returned when the status registers are queried.
