CURVe
The query form of this command transfers waveform data from the instrument in
binary or ASCII format. Use the DATa:SOUrce and DATa:TIMebase commands
to specify th
e location (source) of the waveform data that is transferred from
the instrument. Each waveform that is transferred has an associated waveform
preamble that contains information such as data format and scale. Refer to the
WFMOutpre? query for information about the waveform preamble after the curve
query command is completed. The data format is speciļ¬ed by the DATa:ENCdg
command.
The ļ¬rst and last data points that are transferred are speciļ¬ed by the DATa:STARt
and DATa:
STOP commands.
The CURV
e command transfers waveform data to the instrument. The data is
stored in the reference memory location speciļ¬ed by DATa:DESTination, starting
with the data point speciļ¬ed by the DATa:STARt command. Only one waveform
can be transferred at a time. If the destination reference is not empty, the reference
slot will be cleared, and the instrument will attempt to create a wavef orm u sing
the p rovided data points. The waveform will only be displayed if the reference
is dis
played.

Arguments
block is the w aveform data in binary format. The waveform is formatted
as: #<x><yyy><data><newline> where <x> is the number of y bytes. For
example, if <yyy> = 500, then <x> = 3. <yyy> is the n umber of bytes to
transfer includi
ng checksum.
ascii is the wave
form data in ASCII format. The format for ASCII data is
<NR1>[,<NR1>...] where each <NR1> represents a data point.
