: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
Expects/sends the least significant byte of each IEEE754 float-
ing-point number first and the most significant byte last.
SWAPped
Expects/sends the most significant byte of each IEEE754 float-
ing-point number first and the least significant byte last.
*RST: NORMal
Example:
FORM:BORD SWAP
transfers the data with the most significant bit first.
:FORMat:SREGister
<Format>
Determines the numeric format for responses of the status register.
Parameters:
<Format> ASCii | BINary | HEXadecimal | OCTal
ASCii
Returns the register content as a decimal number.
BINary|HEXadecimal|OCTal
Returns the register content either as a binary, hexadecimal or
octal number. According to the selected format, the number
starts with #B (binary), #H (hexadecimal) or #O (octal).
*RST: ASCii
Example:
FORM:SREG HEX
returns the register content as a hexadecimal number.
:FORMat[:DATA] <Data>
Determines the data format the instrument uses to return data via the IEC/IEEE bus.
The instrument automatically detects the data format used by the controller, and
assigns it accordingly. Data format determined by this SCPI command is in this case
irrelevant.
Parameters:
<Data> ASCii | PACKed
ASCii
Transfers numerical data as plain text separated by commas.
