Arguments ASCIi specifies the ASCII representation for waveform data points. IfASCII is
the value, then :BN_Fmt and :BYT_Or are ignored.
FAStest specifies that the data be sent in the fastest possible manner consistent
with maintaining accuracy and is interpreted with respect to the waveform
specified by DATa:SOUrce.
RIBINARY specifies signed integer data point representation with the most
significant byte transferred first.
When :BYT_Nr is 1, the range is from -128 through 127. When :BYT_Nr is 2,
the range is from -32,768 through 32,767. Center screen is 0 (zero). The upper
limit is the top of the screen and the lower limit is the bottom of the screen. This
is the default argument.
RPBinary specifies the positive integer data-point representation, with the most
significant byte transferred first.
When :BYT_Nr is 1, the range from 0 through 255. When :BYT_Nr is 2, the
range is from 0 to 65,535. The center of the screen is 127. The upper limit is the
top of the screen and the lower limit is the bottom of the screen.
SRIbinary is the same as RIBinary except that the byte order is swapped,
meaning that the least significant byte is transferred first. This format is useful
when transferring data to IBM compatible PCs.
SRPbinary is the same as RPBinary except that the byte order is swapped,
meaning that the least significant byte is transferred first. This format is useful
when transferring data to PCs.
