Arguments
ASCII specifies
the ASCII representation of signed integer (
RIBinary)data
if the data source is a live channel; otherwise, if the data source is equal to the
maththentheASCIIcurvedataisinfloating point format. If this is the value
at power on, the WFMOutpre values for BN_Fmt, BYT_Or, and ENCdg are
set as RI, MSB, and ASCII respectively.
RIBinary specifies signed integer data-point representation w ith the
most-significant byte transferred fi rst.
FPBinary specifies floating-point data-point representation with the
most-significant byte transferred fi rst.
SRIbinary is the same as RIBinary except that the byte order is reversed;
the least-significant byte is transferred first. This format is useful when
transferring data to IBM-compatible PCs.
SFPBinary is the same as FPBinary except that the byte order is reversed;
the least-significant byte is transferred first. This format is useful when
transf
erring data to IBM-compatible PCs.
Examples
DATA:ENCDG RIBINARY sets the data-encoding format to signed integer, with
the mo
st-significant byte transferred first.
DATA:ENCDG? might return DATA:ENCD G SFPBINARY, indicating that the format
of th
edataisfloating point, with the least-significant bit transferred first.
DATa:SOUrce
This command sets or queries the location of the waveform data that is transferred
from the instrument by the CURVe? query. Only one source can be set at a time.
Changing the source waveform does not cause the WFMOutpre interpretation
commands to update. To update these commands, you must send the CURVe?
c
ommand. You may also set or query the timebase associated with the waveform
data transferr ed from the instrument using the DATa:TIMebase command.
