FORMat:BORDer
This command selects whether the binary data is transferred in normal or swapped byte order. 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 generally used in 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 generally used in little-endian
controllers such as those that use Intel processors.

These queries return an array containing the instantaneous output current in amps. The output voltage or
current is digitized whenever a measure command is sent or an acquire trigger occurs. The time interval
is set by SENSe:SWEep:TINTerval. The position of the trigger relative to the beginning of the data
buffer is determined by SENSe:SWEep:OFFSet. The number of points returned is set by
SENSe:SWEep:POINts.
