NOTE This command specifies the formats used for trace data during data
transfer across any remote port .
For corrected trace data ( : TRACe [ : DATA] with paramete r
<trace_name>), REAL and ASCii formats will provide trace data i n
the current amplitude units . INTeger format will provide trace data i n
mdBm. The fastest mode is INTeger, 32 .
For uncorrected trace data ( : TRACe [ : DATA ] with parameter
RAWTRACE), UINTeger and INTeger formats apply to RAWTRACE
queries, and return uncorrected ADC values. The fastest mode is
UINTeger ,16 .
For state data, the format cannot be changed. It is always in a machine
readable format only (machine units) .

ASCii -
Amplitude values are in ASCII, in amplitude units ,
separated by commas .
INTeger,
32 - Binary 32-bit integer values in internal units (mdBm) ,
in a definite length block.
REAL, 32 (or 64) - Binary 32-bit, or 64-bit, real values in amplitud e
units), in a definite length block.
