Programming Reference
Word data is two bytes wide with the most significant byte of each word
being transmitted first. Each 16-bit value effectively places a data point on
screen. The screen therefore is divided into 16384 vertical increments. The
WORD data structure for normal and average acquisition types are shown
in figure 26-3.
The relationship between BYTE and WORD formats are similar. Byte
data values equal word data values divided by 256. This is the reason that
the least significant byte in the normal acquisition mode always contains
averaging occupy the least significant byte of the word. However, this is
only true when RECord type is set to WIND

Figure 26-3. Word Data Structure
ASCII formatted waveform records are transmitted one value at a time,
separated by a comma. The data values transmitted are the same as would
be sent in the WORD format except that they are converted to an integer
ASCII format (six or less characters) before being transmitted. The
header before the data is not included in this format.
