WAVEFORM

TRANSFER

INSPECT?, INSP?

Query

DESCRIPTION

The INSPECT? query allows you to read parts of an acquired
waveform in intelligible form. The command is based on the

explanation of the format of a waveform given by the template (use
the TEMPLATE? query to obtain an up-to-date copy).

Any logical block of a waveform can be inspected using this query
by giving its name enclosed in quotes as the first (string) parameter

(see the template itself).

The special logical block named WAVEDESC can also be inspected

in more detail. By giving the name of a variable in the block
WAVEDESC, enclosed in quotes as the first (string) parameter, it is

possible to inspect only the actual value of that variable. See Chapter
4 for more on INSPECT?.

BYTE

raw data as integers (truncated to 8 most significant bits)

FLOAT

numbers (gives measured values in volts or units)

WORD
