DATA:DESTINATION REF3
stores incoming waveform data in reference memory 3.
DATA:DESTINATION?
might return REF2 as the reference memory location that is currently selected.
DATa:ENCdg
Sets or returns the format of the waveform data. This command is equivalent to
setting WFMPre:ENCdg, WFMPre:BN_Fmt, and WFMPre:BYT_Or as shown
in Table 2--33. Setting the DATa:ENCdg value causes the corresponding
WFMPre values to be updated and vice versa.
Waveform
DATa:ENCdg { ASCIi | RIBinary | RPBinary | SRIbinary |
SRPbinary }
DATa:ENCdg?
ASCIi specifies the ASCII representation of signed integer (RIBinary) data. If
this is the value at power-on, the WFMPre values for BN_Fmt, BYT_Or, and
ENCdg are set as RP, MSB, and ASC respectively.
RIBinary specifies signed integer data-point representation with the most
significant byte transferred first. This format results in the fastest data transfer
rate when DATa:WIDth is set to 2.
The range is --128 to 127 when DATa:WIDth is 1. Zero is center screen. The
range is --32768 to 32767 when DATa:WIDth is 2. The upper limit is one
division above the top of the screen and the lower limit is one division below the
bottom of the screen.
RPBinary specifies positive integer data-point representation with the most
significant byte transferred first.
The range is 0 to 255 when DATa:WIDth is 1. Center screen is 127. The range is
0 to 65,535 when DATa:WIDth is 2. The upper limit is one division above the
top of the screen and the lower limit is one division below 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.
