Argument Description
‘ascii str'
The WFId field includes labeling information to help you
remember key features about the waveform. The information
includes Vertical Mode, Coupling, Volts/Div, Time/Div, and
Acquisition Mode. The scaling information is the same as in the
corresponding preamble fields, but is labeled in the appropriate
units. There is no command form of this argument. If received
as a command, it is ignored.
The fields and their possible values for the WFId section of the
preamble are:

Determines waveform encoding for waveform transmission or
reception. WFMpre ENCdg and DATa ENCdg operate
identically. Power-up default is BINary. All ENCdg formats
represent unsigned integers.
Number of points in waveform. Each point can be a single Y
value (T implied), an X-Y pair, or an Max-Min pair. Although
digitized record length is either 1024 or 4096 points, NR.Pts
may be 256, 512, 1024, 2048, or 4096, depending on number
of acquired channels, acquisition mode, whether or not
smoothing is enabled.
