FORMat Subsystem
This subsystem defines the format for returned data.
FORMat[:DATA] <format>
FORMat[:DATA]?
Parameter Value
<format> HEX
Parameter Value
<format> INTeger|HEXadecimal|BINary
N/A
INT|HEX|BIN
The FORMat[:DATA] command specifies the format of the data returned from
all queries returning numeric data. Data can be returned in an ASCII integer,
ASCII hexadecimal or binary format.
The binary trace format is based upon the IEEE 488.2 Indefinite Arbitrary Block
Program Data type. The data is preceded by a preamble of <#0>, followed by
binary data. Each sample is encoded in four bytes. The most significant byte is
transmitted first, followed by the least significant byte (big endian). The series of
samples is terminated by a new line (‘\n’) and the end bit. The most significant
bit corresponds to bit 32, and the least significant bit corresponds to bit 1.
