Description
Trace data that is input in the A-block or the I-block format is treated as measurement units
independent of trace data format (TDF). Enter words in measurement units only. The output
format is specified according to TDF and MDS.
The command may be used to input integer data to traces. See “Saving Trace Data” in Chapter
3. Because the lengths of trace A, trace B, and trace C are fixed, there are always 401 or 802
bytes transferred during binary input or binary output mode, respectively.
Query Response
The form of the query response is dependent upon the previously used TDF and MDS
commands as follows:
TDF M or TDF I=, ASCII
/
\
output
’
terminot ion
?-’
/
TDF A
<
#A msb length Isb length
/
TDF I \
,-
TDF
B
-\
If Analog+ display mode is turned on, only the 401 or 802 bytes of trace data are returned; the
dot display is not returned.
