[SENSe]

[SENSe:]DATA:FIFO:PART?

[SENSe:]DATA:FIFO:PART? <n_values> returns <n_values> from the FIFO
buffer.
Parameters

Comments •Use the DATA:FIFO:COUNT? command to determine the number of values in

the FIFO buffer.
•The format of values returned is set using the FORMat[:DATA] command.
•Returned Value: ASCII values are returned in the form ±1.234567E±123.
For example 13.325 volts would be +1.3325000E+001. Each value is followed
by a comma (,). A line feed (LF) and End-Or-Identify (EOI) follow the last value.
The data type is a string array.
REAL 32, REAL 64 and PACK 64, values are returned in the IEEE-488.2-1987
Definite Length Arbitrary Block Data format. This data return format is
explained in “Arbitrary Block Program and Response Data” on page233.
For REAL 32, each value is 4 bytes in length (the data type is a float32 array).
For REAL 64 and PACK 64, each value is 8 bytes in length (the data type is a
float64 array).
Note Values which are a positive overvoltage return IEEE +INF and a negative overvoltage
return IEEE -INF (see Table 7-1 on page 294 for actual values for each data format).
