FORMat[:DATA] ASCii | REAL [,<length>]
Selects the format for numeric data transferred to and from the analyzer.
The format setting is only valid for commands and queries whose description states that the
response is formatted as described by
FORMat[:DATA]
. In particular, it affects trace data
transferred by means of the commands in the
TRACe:...
system.
ASCII Numeric data is transferred as ASCII bytes. The number are separated by
commas as specified in IEEE 488.2.
REAL Data is transferred in a definite length block as IEEE floating point
numbers of the specified <length>. See block data format.
If binary data is transferred to the analyzer, the receive terminator
should be set to EOI
(
SYSTem:COMMunicate:GPIB[:SELF]:RTERminator EOI
) to
avoid inadvertent interruption of the data transfer.
<length>
The optional <length> parameter is needed for REAL format only. It
defines the length of the floating point numbers in bits. Valid values are 32
and 64.
*RST value ASCII. The default length of REAL data is 32 bits (single precision).
SCPI,
Command
Types Confirmed, command or query
Example:
FORM REAL, 32
Select real data format.
SYST:COMM:GPIB:RTER EOI
Set the terminator to EOI.
(During a calibration) ... CORR:CDAT? 'REFLTRACK',1,0
Query a system error correction term. The data is transferred in a definite
length block which can be written to a file; the analyzer displays the
message
<no_of_bytes> bytes binary data received .
HCOPy...
The HCOPy system controls the output of screen information to an external device. Part of the
functionality of this system is included in the
File menu.
HCOPy:DESTination <string> | 'MMEM'
Selects a printer name or file as destination for the screen output.
<string> | Printer name, string variable. One of the printers accessible from your
PC.
'MMEM'
Print to file. The file name is defined via
MMEMory:NAME
. The command
HCOPy:DEVice:LANGuage WMF | EWMF | BMP | PNG
selects the
file format.
*RST value –
Note: *RST does not overwrite the printer destination.
