[:SOURce[]][:TRACe]:DATA:DAC
Syntax [:SOURce[]][:TRACe]:DATA:DAC
VOLATILE,[|,,......]
Description Download the binary data block or decimal DAC values to the volatile memory of the
specified channel.
Parameter Name Type Range Default
[] Discrete 1|2 1
ASCII string Refer to the “Explanation” None
Explanation  When [:SOURce[]] or [] is omitted, the system sets the related parameters
of CH1 by default.
 is the binary data to be downloaded, the length of the data is
8pts (16Bytes) to 16kpts (32kBytes). It is a binary data block start with #. For
example, #516384 binary data, the number 5 behind # denotes that the data length
information (16384) occupies 5 characters; 16384 denotes the number of bytes of
the binary data following it. The range of each binary data is from 0000 to 3FFF.
Each waveform point occupies 2 bytes, therefore the number of bytes must be an
even number.
 ,,...denotes the decimal DAC values to be downloaded and
the length of the data is 8pts (16Bytes) to 16kpts (32kBytes). The range of the
is from 0 to 16383. For example, sending VOLATILE,0,16383,8192,0,16383
command denotes sending 5 data points of which the decimal DAC values are 0,
16383, 8192, 0 and 16383 respectively.
 When the number of data points in the command is between 8pts and 8kpts (include
8kpts), if the instrument is currently in the frequency output mode, the instrument
will extend the number of data points to 8192 automatically using the average
interpolation mode; if the instrument is in the sample rate output mode, the number
of data points remains unchanged.
 When the number of data points in the command is between 8kpts (not include
8kpts) and 16kpts, the instrument will select the sample rate output mode
automatically and the number of data points remains unchanged.
 After sending the command, the instrument switches the specified channel to
output volatile waveform automatically and modifies the number of editable points
at the same time. You can edit the data sent using this command in local mode.
