TVS600 & TVS600A Command Reference
FORMat:CALCulate
FORMat:CALCulate?
Sets or queries the type of data format used to transfer data produced by a CALC
block. The format applies to transfer through word serial and RS232 external
interfaces. The REAL type corresponds to a 32-bit Float type number in the C
programming language. FDC tranfers are always in binary format.
The number of significant digits returned by an ASCII data query is not
selectable. A setting of ASCii, 0 selects a format with a varying number of
significant digits depending on the origin of the data. Refer to the TVS600 &
TVS600A Series Waveform Analyzers User Manual for a definition of the data
formats for <type>.
