6.4.09 Output Data Curve Buffer
CBD [n]
Curve buffer define
Defines which data outputs are stored in the curve buffer when subsequent TD (take
data) or TDC (take data continuously) commands are issued. Up to 16 curves, or
outputs, may be acquired, as specified by the CBD parameter.
The CBD is an integer between 0 and 65,535, being the decimal equivalent of a 16-bit
binary word. When a given bit in the word is asserted, the corresponding output is
selected for storage. When a bit is negated, the output is not stored. The bit function
and range for each output are shown in the table below:

32768
Reference frequency bits 16 to 32 (mHz)
32768 points are available for data storage, shared equally between the specified
curves. For example, if all 16 outputs are stored then the maximum number of
storage points would be 2048 (i.e. 32768/16). The LEN command sets the actual
curve length, which cannot therefore be longer than 32768 divided by the number of
curves selected. If more curves are requested than can be stored with the current
buffer length, then the buffer length will be automatically reduced. Its actual length
can of course be determined by sending the LEN command without a parameter.
The reason why bit 4 is needed, which stores both the sensitivity and the IMODE
setting, is to allow the instrument to transfer the acquired curves to the computer in
floating point mode. Without this information, the unit would not be able to determine
the correct calibration to apply.
Curves 14 and 15 store the reference frequency in millihertz. The calculation needed
to translate these two 16-bit values to one 32-bit value is:
Reference Frequency = (65536 × value in Curve 15) + (value in Curve 14)
Note that the CBD command directly determines the allowable parameters for the DC
