The data contains all of the elements specified by the :FORMat:ELEMents:SENSe :FORMat:ELEMents:CALCulate command. Available elements are voltage measurement data, current measurement data, resistance measurement data, calculation result data, time data, status data, and source output setting data.
  • Page 31 NaN indicates “not a number”. +infinity indicates positive infinity. -infinity indicates negative infinity. Status Data B2961A/B2962A sends the status data with the result data if it is specified by the :FORMat:ELEMents:SENSe :FORMat:ELEMents:CALCulate command. The status data is given by a binary-weighted sum of all bits set in the binary data.
