Transferring w
aveform data from the instrument.
You can transfer waveforms from the instrument to an external controller using
the following sequence:
1. Select the waveform source(s) using
DATa:SOUrce.
2. Specify the waveform data format using
DATa:ENCdg.
3. Specify the number of bytes per data point using
WFMOutpre:BYT_Nr.
NOTE. MATH waveforms (and REF waveforms that came from a MATH) are
always set to four bytes.
4. Specify the portion of the waveform that you want to transfer using
DATa:STARt and DATa:STOP.
5. Transfer waveform preamble information using
WFMOutpre.
6. Transfer waveform data from the instrument using
CURVe?.
Table 2-42: Waveform Transfer commands
Command
Description
CURVe The query format transfers waveform data from instrument specified by the
DATa:SOUrce command.
DATa
Sets the format and location of the w aveform data that is transferred with the
CURVe Command.
Or queries the format and location of the waveform data that is transferred with
the
CURVe? command.
DATa:ENCdg Sets or queries the format of outgoing waveform data.
DATa:SOUrce Sets or queries the location of waveform data transferred from the i nstrument.
DATa:SOUrce:AVAILable? Returns a list of enumerations representing the source waveforms that are currently
available for :CURVe? queries.
DATa:STARt Sets or queries the starting point in waveform transfer.
DATa:STOP Sets or queries the ending data point in waveform transfer.
DATa:WIDth
Specifies the width, in bytes per point, for waveform data transferred from the
oscilloscope via the CURVe? query.
WA VFrm? Returns WFMOutpre? and CURVe? data for the waveform as specified by the
DATA:SOUrce command.
WFMOutpre? Returns the waveform formatting data for the waveform specified by the
DATA:SOURCE command.
WFMOutpre:ASC_Fmt? Returns the format for ASCII data transferred from the instrument.
WFMOutpre:BIT_Nr Sets or queries the number of bits per waveform point that outgoing waveforms
contain.
WFMOutpre:BN_Fmt Sets or queries the format of binary data for the w aveform.
