2 SCPI Programming
FORMat3:BORDer {NORMal|SWAPped}
FORMat3:BORDer?
Used for binary block transfers only. Sets the byte order for binary block transfers using
This SCPI is supported on the DAQM909A Digitizer module only.
Parameter
{NORMal | SWAPped }
Default: NORMal
– In the NORMal byte order (default) the most-significant byte (MSB) of each data point is assumed first.
– In the SWAPped byte order the least-significant byte (LSB) of each data point is assumed first. Most PCs use the
"swapped" byte order.
FORMat3[:DATA] {ASCii|REAL} [, <length>]
FORMat3[:DATA]?
This SCPI is supported on the DAQM909A Digitizer module only.
Sets the data format to be either ASCII or REAL. Affects the data format of the
Parameter
{ASCii|REAL}
Default: ASC
Sets the data format as ASCII
FORM:DATA ASC
– If ASCii is specified, numeric data is transferred as ASCii characters. The numbers are separated by commas as
specified in IEEE 488.2. The <length> parameter is optional, but "9" is the default and only allowed value, and the
instrument returns 9 significant digits (for example: +4.57553816E-05).
– If REAL is specified, numeric data is transferred as REAL binary data in IEEE 488.2 definite-length block format.
The <length> parameter is optional, but "32" is the default and only allowed value. The byte order is controlled by
FORMat3:BORDer.
