P6467 Acquisition Data Commands
The CARDATA command transfers acquired data or information about the data
to a host. Several variations of the command are described in the following
paragraphs.
To send acquired data to a host use the CARDATA command with the following
syntax:
cardata <moduleA> <moduleB> [<first sequence>[<count>[<field>]]]
The <moduleA> and <moduleB> arguments define the pair of 92A96 Modules
containing the acquired data. The <first sequence> argument specifies the first
data sequence to return (the default sequence number is 0). The <count>
argument is an integer that specifies the total number of data sequences to return
(the default value is 0 for all sequences). Specifying a count of 0 returns all data
starting with the <first sequence> and ending at the last data record. The <field>
argument specifies the 92A96 data field to return (the default value is 0 for all
fields). Table 4 lists the valid 92A96 fields.

For information using field 15, refer to the Tektronix
Application Note number 57W-7194-1. Contact your
local Tektronix representative for information on
obtaining application notes.
Data records returned by the command are in the same format as the data records
returned by the PCL ACQDATA? query.
The following example transfers 500 sequences of acquired data to the host and
redirects the data into the file test1. The example uses the 92LANP pclconnect
software that supports file redirection (refer to the 92LANP Instruction Manual
for details on using the pclconect software).
