Waveform Preamble

Each waveform t

hat you transfer has an associated waveform p reamble that

contains information such as the horizontal scale, the vertical scale, and other

settings in effect when the waveform was created. The values returned by the

WFMOutpre query commands a re set by the previous curve query. Therefore,

to have a valid set of preamble and data, you must perform a CURVe? query

followed by a WFMOutpre? query. Refer to the individual WFMInpre and

WFMOutpre c

ommands for more information.

Command

Description

CURVe The command format transfers waveform

data to the instrument (reference memory

location speciﬁed by DATa:DESTination)

The query format transfers waveform

data from instrument speciﬁed by the

DATa:SO Urce command

DATa

Sets the format and location of the waveform

data that is transferred with the CURVe

command

Returns the format and location of the

waveform data that is transferred with the

CURVe? command

DATa:DE STination Sets or returns the reference memory

location for storing waveform data sent to

the instrument

DATa:ENCdg Sets or returns the format of the waveform

data

DATa:SOUrce Sets or returns the location of waveform data

transferred from the instrument

DATa:STARt Sets or returns the starting data point in

waveform transfer

DATa:STOP Sets or returns the ending data point in

waveform transfer

WA VFrm? Returns W FMO utpre? and CURVe? data

for the waveform as speciﬁed by the

DATA:SOUrce command

DATa:TIMebase

Sets or r eturns the DATa:SOUrce associated

timebase used to specify the location of the

waveform data to be transferred from the

instrument

WFMInpre? Returns the waveform formatting data

(preamble) for the incoming waveform

WFMInpre:BIT_Nr? Returns the number of bits (width) per

waveform point for the waveform to be

transferred to the instrument

WFMInpre:BN_Fmt

Sets or returns the format of the binary or

ascii data encoding of the waveform to be

transferred to the instrument
