Using The Instrument 3-40
The query:
SMEMory?
queries the shared memory state and returns "0" (OFF) or "1" (ON).
Following the SMEM ON command, you can start downloading waveform
data. Figure 3-10 shows an example of waveform data points.
Explanation of the various words and control bits are given below.
Things to consider when you lay out your data:
1. Waveform data points are made of 16-bit words.
2. Minimum number of words to download is 8.
3. Words are downloaded in groups of 4. Therefore, the minimum
number of groups is 2.
4. In each word, D0 through D2 are ignored. D3 is used for one
of the control bits. D4 through D15 are used for point data. D15
is the msb.
