and from the instrument.
Group

Syntax 1
DATa:STARt <NR1>
Syntax 2
DATa:STARt?
Argument
H <NR1>
This is the first data point that will be transferred, which ranges from
1 to the record length. Data will be transferred from <NR1> to
DATa:STOP or the record length, whichever is less. If <NR1> is
greater than the record length, the last data point in the record is trans-
ferred.
DATa:STARt and DATa:STOP are order independent. When
DATa:STOP is greater than DATa:STARt, the values will be swapped
internally for the CURVE? query.
Example 1
DATa:STARt?
This query might return
:DATA:START 214
indicating that data point 214 is the first waveform data point that will
be transferred.
Example 2
DATa:STARt 10
This command specifies that the waveform transfer will begin with data
point 10.
