531Operating Manual 1007.9845.32 ─ 15
Parameters:
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 instrumenet 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.
NORMal
<Border>
*RST:
FORM:BORD SWAP
the data is transferred with the most significant bit first.
Example:
SCPI conformUsage:
:FORMat[:DATA] <Data>
The command 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:
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
parameter types.
ASCii
<Data>
*RST:
FORM ASC
The data is transferred as ASCII data.
Example:
:FORMat:SREGister <Sregister>
The command determines the numerical format which is returned when the status reg-
isters are queried.
