Note
The Model 301/302 operates in interlaced mode where
eight memory cells generate one byte of data. Segment
size can be programmed in numbers evenly divisible by
eight only. For example, 2096 bytes is an acceptable length
for a binary block. 2002 is not a multiple of 8, therefore the
generator will generate an error message if this segment
length is used.
Reversing Byte
Order
Binary data is sent to the Model 301/302 in byte-low byte-high order.
This order can be reversed using the following command:
FORMat:BORDer {NORMal | SWAPped}
The default is NORM. This command is useful only for binary block
transfers. The query:
FORMat:BORDer?
queries the byte order configuration and returns "NORM" or "SWAP".
