TT - Transmit Timing Acquisition Learn String
The transmit timing acquisition learn string command causes the analyzer to transmit a string containing its
timing measurement data plus two CRC bytes. Glitch information will also be transmitted if the analyzer is in
the glitch mode of operation .
The actual timing data is transmitted as in the following manner :

When the contents of the acquisition is formatted as real data (R), the number refers to number of marks or
number of sample period intervals .
Note
The binary value of these bytes is the number of bytes to follow including the
CRC bytes. The maximum binary number, if the memory is full, is 2065 for 16
channels and 1041 for 8 channels .
With partial memories, the binary value of these bytes will include the last word in memory plustwo CRC bytes.
