Format[:Readings][:Data] <Character_Data - Agilent Technologies N1911A Programming Manual

FORMat[:READings][:DATA] <character_data>
This command sets the data format for transferring numeric information
to either ASCii or REAL:
• When the format type is ASCii, numeric data is output as ASCII bytes
• When the format type is REAL, numeric data is output as IEEE 754
For the N1912A power meter the same FORMat is used on both channels.
FORMat data formatting is not affected by TRACe subsystem data formatting.
