E - IEC Mode Command Summary

FORMat:BORDer

This command sets the byte order of IEEE floating point values returned within Arbitrary Block Response Data. When NORMal is selected, the first byte sent is the sign bit and seven most significant bits of the exponent, and the last byte sent is the least significant byte of the mantissa. This ordering is most useful for big-endian controllers such as those that use Motorola processors.

When SWAPped is selected, the least significant byte of the mantissa is sent first and the sign bit and seven most significant bits of the exponent are sent last. This ordering is most useful for little-endian controllers such as those that use Intel processors.
