timing information for each segment. It contains the time of
each trigger relative to the trigger of the first segment, as well as
the time of the first data point of each segment relative to its
trigger.
4. A block of random interleaved sampling times (RISTIME).
This block is needed for RIS acquisitions to record the exact
timing information for each segment.
5. A data array block (SIMPLE or DATA_ARRAY_l). This
the basic integer data of the waveform. It can be raw or cor-
rected ADC data or the integer result of waveform processing.
6. A second data array block (DATA ARRAY_2). This second
data array is needed to hold the results of processing functions
such as the Extrema (WP01 option) or Complex FFT (WP02
option). In such cases, the data arrays contain:
Extrema FFT
DATA_ARRAY_I Roof trace
Real part
DATA_ARRAY 2
Floor trace Imaginary part
Note: The TEMPLATE also describes an array named DUAL.
This is simply a way to allow the INSPECT? command to examine
the two data arrays together.
This is the simplest way to examine the contents of a waveform. It
can be used on both the data and descriptive parts. The simplest
form of the command is:
INSPECT? "name"
where the template gives the name of a descriptor item or data
block. The answer is returned as a single string, but may span
many lines. Here is some typical dialogue:

The INSPECT? command can also be used to get a readable trans-
lation of the full waveform descriptor block with the command:
INS PECT? "WAVEDE SC"
The template dump from your instrument (or from Appendix B)
will give details on the interpretation of each of the parameters.
