use float format specifiers to convert the binary blocks into float values.
If you use LabView or Keysight VEE, we recommend using the Keysight 816x VXIplug&play Instrument Driver to perform the
Logging and Stability Data Acquisition functions.
example:
sens1:func:res? ->
returns a data array for Logging and Stability Data Acquisition functions
sens1:func:res? -> #255
Min: 7.24079E-04, Max: 7.24252E-04, Act: 7.24155E-04
returns the minimum, maximum and current power values for the MinMax Data Acquisition function
affects:
All power meters and return loss modules
dual sensors:
Master and slave channels are independent.
Return Loss modules:
For Logging and Stability Data Acquisition functions, the data array contains power
values.
For the MinMax Data Acquisition function, the data array contains return loss values.
command:
:SENSe[n][:CHANnel[m]]:FUNCtion:RESul t:BLOCk?
syntax:
:SENSe[n][:CHANnel[m]]:FUNCtion:RESult:BLOCk?<wsp><offset>,<# of data points>
description:
Returns a specific binary block (Intel byte order) from the data array for the last data acquisition function.
parameters:
<offset> A zero based offset; the number of data points to ignore.
# data points The number of data points (not bytes!) to return.
response:
The last stablility or logging data acquisition function's data array as a binary block.
This function is not available for min-max measurements.
One measurement value is a 4-byte-long float in Intel byte order.

example:
sens1:func:res:bloc? #5, 2

affects:
All power meters and return loss modules .
dual sensors:
Master and slave channels are independent.
Return Loss modules:
For Logging and Stability Data Acquisition functions, the data array contains power
values.
