CURVe
Transfers waveform data to and from the digitizing oscilloscope in binary or
ASCII format. Each waveform that is transferred has an associated waveform
preamble which contains information such as data format and scale. Refer to the
WFMPre command starting on page 2–288 for information about the waveform
preamble. The data format is specified by the DATa:ENCdg and DATa:WIDTH
commands.
The CURVe? query transfers data from the instrument. The data source is
specified by the DATa:SOUrce command. If more than one source is specified, a
comma separated list of data blocks is returned. The first and last data points that
are transferred are specified by the DATa:STARt and DATa:STOP commands.
The CURVe command transfers waveform data to the instrument. The data is
stored in the reference memory location specified by DATa:DESTination starting
with the data point specified by DATa:STARt. Only one waveform can be
transferred at a time. The waveform will only be displayed if the reference is
displayed.
A description of the waveform transfer process starts on page 2–32.
