Following the SCPI command sequence for a typical remote phase noise measurement.
Binary format of list
Example: 0x 23 32 3132 0050C347 7 9689A48 00247449
0x 23 : ASCII code for # -> start
0x 32 : ASCII code for 2 -> n=2
0x 3132 : ASCII code for 1 (0x31) and 2 (0x32) -> N=12 (3x 32bit float values)
0x 0050C347 : 32bit float -> 100000.0
0x 79689A48 : 32bit float -> 316227.78125
0x 00247449 : 32bit float -> 1000000.
