FORMat[:DATA] REAL[,64]|ASCii
FORMat[:DATA]?
Specifies the trace data format used during data transfer via HP-IB. This com-
mand affects data transfers for the TRACe[:DATA] subsystem. The ASCII for-
mat is a comma-separated list of numbers. The REAL format is a definite-
length block of 64-bit floating-point binary numbers. The definite-length block
is defined by IEEE 488.2: a "#" character, followed by one digit (in ASCII)
specifying the number of length bytes to follow, followed by the length (in
ASCII), followed by length bytes of binary data. The binary data is a sequence
of 8-byte (64-bit) floating point numbers.
