Command groups
Transferring waveform data from the instrument.
You can transfer waveforms from the instrument to an external controller using
the following sequence:
1.
Select the waveform source(s) using
DATa:SOUrce
.
2.
Specify the waveform data format using
DATa:ENCdg
.
3.
Specify the number of bytes per data point using
WFMOutpre:BYT_Nr
.
NOTE.
MATH waveforms (and REF waveforms that came from a MATH) are
always set to four bytes.
4.
Specify the portion of the waveform that you want to transfer using
DATa:STARt
and
DATa:STOP
.
5.
Transfer waveform preamble information using
WFMOutpre
.
6.
Transfer waveform data from the instrument using
CURVe?
.

CURVe
Command.
Or queries the format and location of the waveform data that is transferred with
the
CURVe?
command.
Sets or queries the format of outgoing waveform data.
Sets or queries the location of waveform data transferred from the instrument.
Returns a list of enumerations representing the source waveforms that are currently
available for :CURVe? queries.
Sets or queries the starting point in waveform transfer.
Sets or queries the ending data point in waveform transfer.
Speci
fi
es the width, in bytes per point, for waveform data transferred from the
oscilloscope via the CURVe? query.
Returns
WFMOutpre?
and
CURVe?
data for the waveform as speci
fi
ed by the
DATA:SOUrce
command.
Returns the waveform formatting data for the waveform speci
fi
ed by the
DATA:SOURCE command.
Returns the format for ASCII data transferred from the instrument.
Sets or queries the number of bits per waveform point that outgoing waveforms
contain.
Sets or queries the format of binary data for the waveform.
