Command Description
WFMOutpre:RECOrdlength? on page 261 Returns the record length for the source
waveform as specified by the DATa:SOUrce
command.
WFMOutpre:WFId? on page 262 Returns a descriptive string from the waveform
specified in the DATa:SOUrce command, if that
waveform is active or displayed.
WFMOutpre:XINcr? on page 263 Returns the horizontal point spacing in units of
WFMOutpre:XUNit for the waveform specified
by the DATa:SOUrce command.
WFMOutpre:XUNit? on page 263 Returns the horizontal units for the waveform
specified by the DATa:SOUrce command.
WFMOutpre:XUNit? on page 263 Returns the time coordinate of the first point in
the outgoing waveform.
WFMOutpre:YMUlt? on page 265 Returns the vertical scale factor per digitizing
level in units specified by WFMOutpre:YUNit for
the waveform specified by the DATa:SOUrce
command.
WFMOutpre:YOFf? on page 265 Returns the vertical position in digitizing levels
for the waveform specified by the DATa:SOUrce
command.
WFMOutpre:YUNit? on page 266 Returns the vertical units for the waveform
specified by the DATa:SOUrce command.
WFMOutpre:YZEro? on page 267 Returns the vertical offset in units specified by
WFMOutpre:YUNit? for the waveform specified
by the DATa:SOUrce command.
Waveform data formats
Internally, the instrument uses one 8-bit data byte to represent each waveform
data point, regardless of the acquisition mode.
The DATa:WIDth command lets you specify the number of bytes per data point
when transferring data to and from an instrument. This provides compatibility
with other digitizing instruments.
When DATa:WIDth is set to two:
■
If sending data, the instrument multiplies each point by 256; the most
significant byte then has meaningful data and the least significant byte is 0.
■
If receiving data, the instrument truncates the data (divides by 256) and saves
the most significant byte.
NOTE. The instrument uses these methods to handle waveforms transmitted in
ASCII or binary format.
The instrument can transfer waveform data in either ASCII or binary format.
Use the DATa:ENCdg command to specify one of the following formats:
■
ASCII data is represented by signed integer values. The range of values
depends on the byte width specified. One-byte-wide data ranges from -128 to
127. Two-byte-wide data ranges from -32768 to 32767.
