R&S FSW-K7
Usage:
FORMat[:DATA] <Format>
This command selects the data format that is used for transmission of trace data from
the R&S FSW to the controlling computer.
Note that the command has no effect for data that you send to the R&S FSW. The
R&S FSW automatically recognizes the data it receives, regardless of the format.
Parameters:
<Format>
Example:
TRACe<n>[:DATA]
This command queries current trace data and measurement results.
The data format depends on FORMat[:DATA].
Suffix:
<n>
Query parameters:
<ResultType>
Return values:
<TraceData>

Query only
ASCii
ASCii format, separated by commas.
This format is almost always suitable, regardless of the actual
data format. However, the data is not as compact as other for-
mats may be.
REAL,32
32-bit IEEE 754 floating-point numbers in the "definite length
block format".
In the Spectrum application, the format setting REAL is used for
the binary transmission of trace data.
For I/Q data, 8 bytes per sample are returned for this format set-
ting.
*RST: ASCII

Selects the type of result to be returned.
TRACE1 | ... | TRACE6
Returns the trace data for the corresponding trace.
The trace data consists of a list of power levels that have been
measured. The number of power levels in the list depends on
the currently selected number of sweep points. The unit
depends on the measurement and on the unit you have currently
set.
If you are measuring with the auto peak detector, the command
returns positive peak values only. (To retrieve negative peak val-
ues, define a second trace with a negative peak detector.)
