The measurement results are output in the form of a list, three different formats can be
selected for this list (see
For details on formats refer to
Chapter A, "Reference: format description for I/Q data
The applications can only receive data that is available in the capture buffer. As soon
as data has been stored to the capture buffer successfully, a status bit (#9) in the
STAT:OPER
register is set (see

FORMat[:DATA]
<Format>[, <BitLength>]
This command selects the data format that is used for transmission of trace data from
the R&S
FSWP to the controlling computer.
Note that the command has no effect for data that you send to the R&S
FSWP. The
R&S
FSWP automatically recognizes the data it receives, regardless of the format.
Parameters:
<Format>
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 can be.
REAL
Floating-point numbers (according to IEEE 754) in the "definite
length block format".
The format setting
REAL
is used for the binary transmission of
trace data.
<BitLength>
Length in bits for floating-point results
16
16-bit floating-point numbers.
Compared to
REAL,32
format, half as many numbers are
returned.
32
32-bit floating-point numbers
For I/Q data, 8 bytes per sample are returned for this format set-
ting.
