Format Subsystem - Keysight Truevolt Series Operating And Service Manual

FORMat Subsystem

This subsystem applies only to the 34465A and 34470A.
Command Summary
FORMat:BORDer
FORMat[:DATA]
FORMat:BORDer {NORMal|SWAPped}
FORMat:BORDer?
Used for binary block transfers only . Selects the byte order for binary block transfers using MEASure?,
READ?, FETCh?, DATA:REMove?
{NORMal|SWAPped} (see bullet points below). Default: NORM.
Select the swapped byte order:
FORMat:BORDer SWAP
Applies only to the 34465A and 34470A.
l
In the NORMal byte order (default) the most-significant byte (MSB) of each data point is assumed first.
l
In the SWAPped byte order the least-significant byte (LSB) of each data point is assumed first. Most
l
PCs use the "swapped" byte order.
The byte order setting is stored in non-volatile memory and does not change when power has been
l
off. The default value is restored after a Factory Reset (*RST), or after an Instrument Preset
(SYSTem:PRESet).
FORMat[:DATA] {ASCii|REAL} [, < length >]
FORMat[:DATA]?
Specifies the data format to be either ASCII or REAL. Affects the data format of the MEASure?, READ?,
FETCh?, DATA:REMove?
Parameter
<length> ASCii: "9" or REAL: "64"
Specify the 64-bit REAL data format:
FORM:DATA REAL,64 or FORM:DATA REAL
