FORMat Subsystem, Byte Order | Agilent Technologies Model A.08.xx

NOTE

Language Reference

FORMat Subsystem

The FORMat subsystem sets a data format for transferring numeric and array information. TRACe[:DATA] and TRACe[:DATA]? are affected by FORMat subsystem commands.

Byte Order

:FORMat:BORDer NORMalSWAPped

:FORMat:BORDer?

This command selects the binary data byte order for data transfer. It controls whether binary data is transferred in normal or swapped mode. This command affects only the byte order for setting and querying trace data for the :TRACe[:DATA] and query :TRACe[:DATA]? commands.

Normal mode is when the byte sequence begins with the most significant byte (MSB) first, and ends with the least significant byte (LSB) last in the sequence: 1234. Swapped mode is when the byte sequence begins with the LSB first, and ends with the MSB last in the sequence: 4321.

Numeric Data format

:FORMat[:TRACe][:DATA]ASCiiINTeger,32REAL,32

REAL,64UINTeger,16

:FORMat[:TRACe][:DATA]?

This command changes the format of the trace data input and output. It affects only the data format for setting and querying trace data for the :TRACe[:DATA] and query :TRACe[:DATA]? commands.

This command specifies the formats used for trace data during data transfer across any remote port.

For corrected trace data (:TRACe[:DATA] with parameter <trace_name>), REAL, and ASCii formats will provide trace data in the current amplitude units. INTeger format will provide trace data in mdBm. The fastest mode is INTeger,32.

For uncorrected trace data (:TRACe[:DATA] with parameter RAWTRACE), UINTeger, and INTeger formats apply to RAWTRACE queries, and return uncorrected ADC values. The fastest mode is UINTeger,16.

For state data, the format cannot be changed. It is always in a machine readable format only (machine units).
