Measurement Data Arrays

Measurement data can be either complex values or real values. This depends on the
format selected by the user. For example, the data is real in logarithmic magnitude
format and the data is complex in polar format.
The measurement data is transferred in a Variant type variable, which represents an
array of Double type. To transfer one complex measurement, two adjacent array cells
are used. To transfer one real measurement two adjacent array cells are used as well but
the second cell is always equal to 0. Thus, measurement data array size is a double
number of the measurement points.
