FORMat[:DATA]
<Format>[, <BitLength>]
This command selects the data format that is used for transmission of trace data from
the R&S
FSV/A to the controlling computer.
Note that the command has no effect for data that you send to the R&S
FSV/A. The
R&S
FSV/A automatically recognizes the data it receives, regardless of the format.
For details on data formats see
Chapter 14.8.2.5, "Formats for Returned Values: ASCII
Parameters:
<Format>
ASCii | REAL | UINT | MATLab
ASCii
ASCii format, separated by commas.
This format is almost always suitable, regardless of the actual
data format. However, the data is not as compact as other for-
mats may be.
REAL
Floating-point numbers (according to IEEE 754) in the "definite
length block format".
<BitLength>
16 | 32 | 64
Length in bits for floating-point results
32
32-bit floating-point numbers
For I/Q data, 8 bytes per sample are returned for this format set-
ting.
Example:
FORM REAL,32
TRACe<n>[:DATA]
This command queries current trace data and measurement results.
The data format depends on
Suffix:
<n>
.
Query parameters:
<ResultType>
Selects the type of result to be returned.
TRACE1 | ... | TRACE6
Returns the trace data for the corresponding trace.
SPECtrogram | SGRam
Returns the results of the spectrogram result display.
For details see
Example:
TRAC? TRACE3
Queries the data of trace 3.
