FORMat Subsystem Commands
The FORMat subsystem sets a data format for transferring numeric and array
information
The commands in this subsystem have the following command hierarchy:
:FORMat
[:DATA] REAL[32,64]|ASCii
:FORMat[:DATA]
Specifies the trace data format used during data transfer via GPIB.
This command affects data transfers for the TRACe[:DATA] subsystem. The
ASCII format is a comma-separated list of numbers. The REAL format is a def-
inite-length block of 32- or 64-bit floating-point binary numbers. The definite-
length block is defined by IEEE 488.2: a "#" character, followed by one digit (in
ASCII) specifying the number of length bytes to follow, followed by the length
(in ASCII), followed by length bytes of binary data. The binary data is a
sequence of 8-byte (32- or 64-bit) floating point numbers.
