11.8 FORMat Subsystem
The
FORMat
subsystem contains the commands which determine the format of the
data that the R&S
SGT returns to the controller. This affects all query commands which
return a list of numerical data or block data. Reference is made to this in the descrip-
tions of the commands.
:FORMat:BORDer
<Border>
Determines the sequence of bytes within a binary block. This only affects blocks which
use the IEEE754 format internally.
Parameters:
<Border>
NORMal | SWAPped
NORMal
The instrument expects (with setting commands) and sends
(with queries) the least significant byte of each IEEE754 floating-
point number first and the most significant byte last.
SWAPped
The instrument expects (with setting commands) and sends
(with queries) the most significant byte of each IEEE754 floating-
point number first and the least significant byte last.
*RST:
NORMal
Example:
FORM:BORD SWAP
The data is transferred with the most significant bit first.
:FORMat[:DATA]
<Data>
Determines the data format which the R&S
SGT uses to return data. When data is
transferred from the control computer to the instrument, the instrument detects the data
format automatically. In this case, the value set here is irrelevant.
