This chapter describes commands that affect many other remote commands in differ-
ent applications of the instrument.

FORMat[:DATA] [<Format>],[<Length>]
FORMat[:DATA]? [<Format>]
Selects the data type that is used for transmission of data from analog channels, math
and reference waveforms, and some measurement results from the instrument to the
controlling computer.
Setting parameters:
<Length> *RST: ASCii
Parameters for setting and query:
<Format> ASCii | REAL | INT
ASCii
Data values are returned in ASCII format as a list of comma-
separated values in floating point format. The length can be
omitted. It is 0 which means that the instrument selects the num-
ber of digits to be returned. The query returns both values (ASC,
0).
REAL,32
The data is stored as binary data (Definite Length Block Data
according to IEEE 488.2). Each waveform value is formatted in
32-Bit IEEE 754 Floating Point Format.
The schema of the result string is as follows:
#41024<value1><value2>…<value n> with:
#4 = number of digits (= 4 in the example) of the following num-
ber
1024 = number of following data bytes (= 1024 in the example)
<value> = 4-byte floating point values
For large data (≥ 1 GB), the result string starts with "#(data
length)". The number inside the parentheses indicates the real
data length in bytes.
INT,8 | INT,16 | INT,32
Signed integer data with length 8 bit, 16 bit, or 32 bit.
The result string has the same schema as the REAL format.
Fot INT,16 you can set the byte order using the command.
For digital channel data, math and histogram data, INT formats
are not available.
