TRACe subsystem
The commands in this subsystem are used to configure and control data storage into the
buffer. The commands are summarized in Table 17-9.

The bar (|) indicates that :TRACe or :DATA can be used as the root command for this sub-
system. From this point on, the documentation in this manual uses :TRACe. If you prefer
to use :DATA, simply replace all the :TRACe command words with :DATA.

:FORMat subsystem.
NOTE See Appendix C for a detailed explanation on how data flows through the vari-
ous operation blocks of the Model 2500. It clarifies the types of readings that are
acquired by the various commands to read data.
