0x0000 correspond to -8 V and 0xFFFF corresponds to +8V (0xFFF corresponds to +8 V for 3152A
emulation).
3. 3152B data point data point 65,535 corresponds to full-scale amplitude setting. Point 32768 (point 2048
for the legacy 3152A) corresponds to the 0 V amplitude setting.
Figure 5-2 shows how to initially prepare the 16-bit word for a waveform data point. Figure 5-3 shows how
legacy 3152A waveform data point was represented.

Type
Description
<header>
Discrete
Contains information on the size of the binary block that
contains waveform data.
<binary_block>
Binary
Block of binary data that contains waveform data points
as explained above.
TRACe:DEFine <segment_# >,<length>
HS Syntax:
10102<integer,long>
Description
Use this command to define the size of a specific memory segment. The final size of the arbitrary memory is
1 Meg points (4 Meg optional). The memory can be partitioned to smaller segments, up to 16k segments.
This function allows the definition of segment size. Total length of memory segments cannot exceed the size
of the waveform memory.
