Additional SCPI Commands
:BORDer command
:BORDer <name>
:FORMat:BORDer <name>
Parameters
<name> =
Description
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 1
For reverse byte order, the data format for each element is sent as follows:
Byte 4
Byte 8
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.
:ELEMents command
:ELEMents <item list>
:FORMat:ELEMents <item list>
Parameters
<item list>:
NOTE
Description
This command is used to specify the elements to be included in the data string for each
measurement conversion. You can specify from one to all three elements. Each element in the
list must be separated by a comma (,). These elements, shown in
the following paragraphs.
READing: Instrument reading. The resolution of this reading tracks the display resolution
of the instrument. An overflow reading reads as +9.9e37 with no units.
