Format[:Readings][:Data] <Character_Data - Keysight Technologies EPM-P Series Programming Manual

FORMat[:READings][:DATA] <character_data>
This command sets the data format for transferring numeric information to either
ASCii or REAL:
– When the format type is ASCii, numeric data is output as ASCII bytes in the
– When the format type is REAL, numeric data is output as IEEE 754 64 bit
For the E4417A power meter the same FORMat is used on both channels.
FORMat data formatting is not affected by TRACe subsystem data formatting.
