2-226 MSO7000/DS7000 Programming Guide
Remarks
 NORMal: reads the waveform data currently displayed on the screen.
 MAXimum: reads the waveform data displayed on the screen when the oscilloscope
is in the Run state; reads the waveform data in the internal memory when the
oscilloscope is in the Stop state.
 RAW: reads the waveform data in the internal memory. Note: The data in the
internal memory can only be read when the oscilloscope is in the Stop state. You are
not allowed to operate the instrument when it is reading data.
 When the channel source is set to MATH, only the NORMal mode is valid.
Return
Format
The query returns NORM, MAX, or RAW.
Example
:WAVeform:MODE RAW /*Sets the reading mode of waveform data to RAW.*/

and the higher 8 bits are 0.
 BYTE: Each waveform point occupies one byte (8 bits).
 ASCii: The query returns the actual voltage value of each waveform point in
scientific notation; and the voltage values are separated by commas.

S2. :WAV:MODE NORMal
Sets the waveform reading mode to NORMal.
S3. :WAV:FORM BYTE
Sets the return format of the waveform data to
BYTE.
S4. :WAV:DATA?
Reads the waveform data on the screen.
