[SENSe:]DATA
Uploads or downloads time-capture data between the analyzer and the controller.
Command Syntax:
<DATA> ::= <DEF_BLOCK>

Return Format:
Attribute Summary:
Description:
The command takes one parameter and a block of data. The parameter specifies the channel of the time
capture buffer that the data will be loaded into, TCAP1 for channel 1, TCAP2 for channel 2, TCAP3 for
channel 3, TCAP4 for channel 4.
The analyzer can only load definite length blocks; it cannot load indefinite blocks or ASCII data. The data
is stored internally as 16 bit integers, but it is transferred as floating point values. The floating-point
numbers are scaled and converted to integers with the time capture range value specified with the
[SENSE:]DATA:RANGE TCAP[1|2|3|4] command. Using the time-capture range to scale the data yields
the best dynamic range. The number of points sent to the analyzer must be the same as the number of
points in the capture buffer.
The query form of this command is used to transfer time-capture data to the controller. The
TCAP1|TCAP2|TCAP3|TCAP4 parameter specifies the channel. The data is transferred to the controller
in the format specified by the FORM:DATA command.
The time-capture buffer start and stop frequency can be used to calculate the time spacing between the
points. Use the SENSE:DATA:HEAD:FREQ:START and SENSE:DATA:HEAD:FREQ:STOP
commands to determine the start and stop frequencies.
Use the SENSE:TCAP:FILE command if you want to upload and download the time-capture file.
