The binary byte order:

• 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

FORM:BORD NORM

Use the normal byte order.
