WFMOutpre:BIT_Nr
Description
This command sets and returns the number of bits per waveform point
that outgoing waveforms contain, as specified by the DATa:SOUrce
command. Note that values will be constrained according to the under-
lying waveform data. This specification is only meaningful when
WFMOutpre:ENCdg is set to BIN and WFMOutpre:BN_Fmt is set to
either RI or RP.

Syntax 1
WFMOutpre:BIT_Nr <NR1>
Syntax 2
WFMOutpre:BIT_Nr?
Argument
H <NR1>
This number of bits per data point can be 8, 16, 32 or 64.
Example 1
WFMOutpre:BIT_Nr?
This query might return
:WFMOUTPRE:BIT_NR 8
indicating that outgoing RI or RP binary format data uses 8 bits per
waveform point.
Example 2
WFMOutpre:BIT_Nr 16
This command sets the number of bits per waveform point to 16 for
incoming RI and RP binary format data.
