WFMInpre:PT_Fmt
Description
This command sets or queries the point format of the incoming wave-
form data. Regardless of the argument used, the scale, offset, and so on
are interpreted similarly. When ENV is used, waveform data is inter-
preted over the min--max pair; when Y is used, it is interpreted over a
single point.

Arguments
H ENV
This specifies that the waveform is transmitted in envelope mide as
maximum and minimum point pairs. Only Y values are explicitly
transmitted. Absolute coordinates are given by:
Xn = XZEro + XINcr (n--PT_Off)
Ynmax = YZEro + YMUlt (ynmax -- YOFf)
Ynmin = YZEro + YMUlt (ynmin -- YOFf)
H Y
This specifies a normal waveform where one ASCII or binary data
point is transmitted for each point in the waveform record. Only Y
values are explicitly transmitted. Absolute coordinates are given by:
Xn = XZEro + XINcr (N--PT_Off)
Yn = YZEro + YMUlt (Yn -- YOFf)
Example 1
WFMInpre:PT_Fmt ENV
This command sets the incoming waveform data point format to envel-
oped.
