ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Block Format

DEF9:

Uses the IEEE 488.2 definite length arbitrary block response data
format. The digit 9 indicates that the byte count consists of 9 digits.

The data block directly follows the byte count field.

For example, a data block consisting of three data bytes would be

sent as:

WF DAT1,#9000000003

where represents an eight-bit binary data byte.

A (new line with EOI) signifies that block

transmission has ended.

The same data bytes as above would be sent as:

WF DAT1,#0

: The format OFF does not conform to the IEEE 488.2

standard and is only provided for special applications where

the absolute minimum of data transfer may be important.

Data Type

BYTE:

Transmits the waveform data as 8-bit signed integers (one byte).

WORD:

Transmits the waveform data as 16-bit signed integers (two bytes).

: The data type BYTE transmits only the high-order bits

of the internal 16-bit representation. The precision contained

in the low-order bits is lost.
