WAVEFORM TRANSFER
INSPECT?, INSP?
Query
DESCRIPTION
The INSPECT? query allows you to read parts of an acquired
waveform in intelligible form. The command is based on the
explanation of the format of a waveform given by the template (use
the TEMPLATE? query to obtain an up-to-date copy).
Any logical block of a waveform can be inspected using this query
by giving its name enclosed in quotes as the first (string) parameter
(see the template itself).
The special logical block named WAVEDESC can also be inspected
in more detail. By giving the name of a variable in the block
WAVEDESC, enclosed in quotes as the first (string) parameter, it is
possible to inspect only the actual value of that variable. See Chapter
4 for more on INSPECT?.
N OTATION
BYTE
raw data as integers (truncated to 8 most significant bits)
FLOAT
normalized data (gain, offset applied) as floating point
numbers (gives measured values in volts or units)
WORD
raw data as integers (truncated to 16 most significant bits)
QUERY SYNTAX
<trace> : INSPect? ‘<string>’[,<data_type>]
<trace> : = {F1,F2,F3,F4,F5,F6,F7,F8,TA,TB,TC,
TD,M1,M2,M3,M4,C1,C2,C3,C4} Note that TA through TD are
included for compatibility with software designed for earlier LeCroy
instruments. These four labels will not be returned in responses to
queries.
<data_type> : = {BYTE, WORD, FLOAT}. TA through TD are for
backward compatibility, and are not returned by queries.

: The optional parameter <data_type> applies only to
inspection of data arrays. It selects the representation of the
data. The default <data_type> is FLOAT.
