Details
The output of :TRACe:DATA? is affected by the data format selected by :FORMat[:DATA]. If you
set FORMat[:DATA] to REAL or SREAL, you will have fewer options for buffer elements. The only
buffer elements available are READing, RELative, SOURce, and EXTRa. If you request a buffer
element that is not permitted for the selected data format, the instrument generates the error 1133,
"Parameter 4, Syntax error, expected valid name parameters."
To change the number of digits returned in a remote command reading, use the
:FORMat:ASCii:PRECision command.
When specifying buffer elements, you can:
•
Specify buffer elements in any order.
•
Include any or all of the buffer elements listed below in a single list. You can repeat elements as
long as the number of elements in the list is less than 14.
•
Use a comma to delineate multiple elements for a data point.
