ASCII data format
The ASCII data format is in a direct readable form for the operator. Most programming
languages easily convert ASCII mantissa and exponent to other formats. However, some
speed is compromised to accommodate the conversion.
shows an example
ASCII string that includes all the data elements. See
“FORMat:ELEMents <item list>,”
, for information on the data elements.
also shows the byte order of the data string. Data elements not specified by the
:ELEMents command are simply not included in the string.

ASCII data format
IEEE-754 single precision format
REAL, 32, or SREal will select the binary IEEE-754 single precision data format.
A shows the normal byte order format for each data element. For example, if
three data elements are selected, the data string for each reading conversion is made up of
three 4-byte data blocks. Note that the data string for each reading conversion is preceded
by a 2-byte header that is the binary equivalent of an ASCII # sign and 0.
does
not show the byte for the terminator that is attached to the end of each data string. Note
that the byte order of the data string can be sent in reverse order (see
).
REAL, 64, or DREal selects the binary IEEE754 double precision data format and is
shown in
B (normal byte order shown). This format is similar to the single pre-
cision format except that it is 64 bits long.
