:FORMat:BORDer?
• Normal byte order: NORMal
•
Reverse byte order for binary formats: SWAPped
Details
This attribute selected the byte order in which data is written.
The SWAPped byte order must be used when transmitting binary data to a computer with a Microsoft Windows
operating system.
The ASCII data format can only be sent in the normal byte order. If the ASCII format is selected, the SWAPped
selection is ignored.
When you select NORMal byte order, the data format for each element is sent as follows:
Byte 1 Byte 2 Byte 3 Byte 4 (Single precision)
When you select SWAPped, the data format for each element is sent as follows:
Byte 4 Byte 3 Byte 2 Byte 1 (Single precision)
The “#0” header is not affected by this command. The header is always sent at the beginning of the data string
for each measurement conversion.
Example
Use the normal byte order.
