DATa:ENCdg

This command sets or queries the format of outgoing waveform data.

This command is equivalent to setting WFMOutpre:ENCdg,

WFMOutpre:BN_Fmt, and WFMOutpre:BYT_Or. Setting the

DATa:ENGdg value causes the corresponding WFMOutpre values to be

updated and visa versa.

Note: Values are constrained (for outbound data) to the format of the

data specified by DATa:SOUrce.

DATa:ENCdg {ASCIi|FAStest|RIBinary|RPBina-

ry|FPBinary|SRIbinary

|SRPbinary|SFPbinary}

This specifies the ASCII representation of signed INT, FLOAT. If

ASCII is the value, then :BN_Fmt and :BYT_Or are ignored.

This specifies that the data be sent in the fastest possible manner con-

sistent with maintaining accuracy and is interpreted with respect to the

first waveform specified in the DATA:SOUrce list.

:ENCdg will always be BIN, :BYT_Or will always be LSB, but

:BN_Fmt and :BYT_Nr will depend on the first DATa:SOUrce wave-

form. :BN_Fmt will be RI unless the waveform is internally stored as

a floating point number, in which case the FP format will be used.

This specifies signed integer data point representation with the most

significant byte transferred first.

When :BYT_Nr is 1, the range is from - -128 through 127. When

:BYT_Nr is 2, the range is from - -32,768 through 32,767. When

:BYT_Nr is 8, then the waveform being queried has been set to Fast

Acquisition mode. Center screen is 0 (zero). The upper limit is one

division above the top of the screen and the lower limit is one division

below the bottom of the screen. This is the default argument.
