Model 6517B Electrometer Reference Manual Section 14: SCPI command reference

6517B-901-01 Rev. C / August 2015 14-55

:BORDer <name>

This command specifies the binary byte order.

Usage

:FORMat:BORDer <name>

:BORDer?

<name>

 NORMal: Normal byte order for binary formats

 SWAPped: Reverse byte order for binary formats

Details

This command is used to control the byte order for the IEEE754 binary formats. For normal byte

order, the data format for each element is sent as follows:

Byte 1 Byte 2 Byte 3 Byte 4 (Single precision)

Byte 1 Byte 2 ... Byte 8 (Double precision)

For reverse byte order, the data format for each element is sent as follows:

Byte 4 Byte 3 Byte 2 Byte 1 (Single precision)

Byte 8 Byte 7 ... Byte 1 (Double 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.

The ASCII data format can only be sent in the normal byte order. The SWAPped selection is ignored

when the ASCII format is selected.

OUTPut subsystems

The Output subsystems are used to control the V-source (standby or operate) and set polarities for the digital

output port. Commands for these subsystems are summarized in OUTPut command summary (on page 14-11).
