FORMat Subsystem
FORMat Subsystem
FORMat Subsystem
The FORMat subsystem sets a data format for transferring numeric
information. This data format is used only for response data by those
commands that are specifically designated to be affected by the FORMat
subsystem.
For the HP E4419B the same FORMat is used on both channels.
The queries that are affected are:
When the format type is ASCII, numeric data is output as ASCII bytes in
the <NR3> format.
When the format type is real, numeric data is output as a definite length
block as IEEE 754 64 bit floating point numbers. The result is an 8 byte
block per number.
