<mode> Discrete {NORMal|MAXimum|RAW} NORMal
Explanation  NORMal: read the waveform data displayed on the screen.
 MAXimum: read the waveform data displayed on the screen when the instrument is
in the run state and the waveform data in the internal memory in the stop state.
 RAW: read the waveform data in the internal memory. Note that the waveform data
in the internal memory can only be read when the oscilloscope is in the stop state
and the oscilloscope can not be operated.
 If the MATH channel is selected, only the NORMal mode is valid.

Range
Default
<format> Discrete {WORD|BYTE|ASCii} BYTE
Explanation  BYTE: a waveform point occupies one byte (namely 8 bits).
 WORD: a waveform point occupies two bytes (namely 16 bits) in which the lower 8
bits are valid and the higher 8 bits are 0.
 ASCii: return the waveform points in chara
cter number. Waveform points are retuned
in scientific notation and separated by commas.
