Remarks
• This attribute selects the byte order that data is written when printing data values
with the
printnumber
and the
printbuffer
functions. The byte order attribute is
only used with the SREAL, REAL, REAL32, and REAL64 data formats.
• NORMAL, BIGENDIAN, and NETWORK select the same byte order. SWAPPED
and LITTLEENDIAN select the same byte order. They are alternative identifiers.
Selecting which to use is a matter of preference.

PC compatible computer.
