Example:
*RST; :DISP:RFS 80
Use smaller fonts to gain more space for the traces in the dia-
gram.
Manual operation:
See
7.3.7 FORMat Commands
The
FORMAT...
commands select a data format for transferring numeric data (includ-
ing arrays) from and to the analyzer.
FORMat[:DATA]
<TransferFormat>[, <Length>]
Selects the format for numeric data transferred to and from the analyzer.
Note:
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.
Parameters:
<TransferFormat>
ASCii | REAL
ASCii - numeric data is transferred as ASCII bytes. The numbers
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
ter 6.2.3.5, "Block Data Format"
Note:
If binary data is transferred to the analyzer, the receive
terminator should be set to EOI (
EOI
) to avoid inadvertent inter-
ruption 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:
ASCII. The default length of REAL data is 32 bits
(single precision).
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> bytes binary data received".
