:BORDer <name>
This command specifies the binary byte order.
Usage
:FORMat:BORDer <name>
:BORDer?
<name>
Details
This command is used to control the byte order for the IEEE754 binary formats. For normal byte
order, the data format for each element is sent as follows:
Byte 1 Byte 2 Byte 3 Byte 4 (Single precision)
Byte 1 Byte 2 ... Byte 8
For reverse byte order, the data format for each element is sent as follows:
Byte 4 Byte 3 Byte 2 Byte 1 (Single precision)
Byte 8 Byte 7 ... Byte 1
The "#,0" Header is not affected by this command. The Header is always sent at the beginning of the
data string for each measurement conversion.
The ASCII data format can only be sent in the normal byte order. The SWAPped selection is ignored
when the ASCII format is selected.

OUTPut subsystems

The Output subsystems are used to control the V-source (standby or operate) and set polarities for the digital
output port. Commands for these subsystems are summarized in
6517B-901-01 Rev. C / August 2015
 NORMal: Normal byte order for binary formats
 SWAPped: Reverse byte order for binary formats
