DATa:STOP
Sets or queries the last data point in the waveform that will be transferred when
using the CURVe? query. This lets you transfer partial waveforms from the
instrument
Changes to the record length value are not automatically reflected in the
DATa:STOP value. As record length is varied, the DATa:STOP value must be
explicitly changed to ensure the entire record is transmitted. In other words, curve
results will not automatically and correctly reflect increases in record length if the
distance from DATa:STARt to DATa:STOP stays smaller than the increased
record length.
When using the CURVe command, the instrument stops reading data when there
is no more data to read.

Arguments
<NR1> is the last data point that will be transferred, which ranges from 1 to the
record length. If <NR1> is greater than the record length, then data will be
transferred up to the record length. If both DATa:STARt and DATa:STOP are
greater than the record length, the last data point in the record is returned.
DATa:STARt and DATa:STOP are order independent. When DATa:STOP is less
than DATa:STARt, the values will be swapped internally for the CURVE? query.
If you always want to transfer complete waveforms, set DATa:STARt to 1 and
DATa:STOP to the maximum record length, or larger.
