:FORMat[:DATA]
[SOURce:]LIST[1]:FORMat[:DATA] <format>[,<length>] specifies the format of
numeric waveform segment and segment sequence list return data in the
[SOURce:]LIST[1] subsystem. The available numeric list return data formats are:
ASCii: Returns numeric data as an NR1 or NR3 number as defined in IEEE-488.2.
PACKed: Returns data in IEEE-488.2 definite block format. Internal to the
block, the format depends on the query being executed, as list below. The most
significant byte of each value is always sent first.
– [SOURce:]LIST[1][:SEGMent]:COMBined?: The data is returned in the format
described under the
[SOURce:]LIST[1][:SEGMent]:COMBined command.
– [SOURce:]LIST[1][:SEGMent]:MARKer?: The data is returned in 16-bit integer
format.
– [SOURce:]LIST[1][:SEGMent]:VOLTage?: The data is returned in IEEE-754
64-bit floating point format.
– [SOURce:]LIST[1][:SEGMent]:VOLTage:DAC?: The data is returned as 16-bit
signed or unsigned DAC codes as specified by the
[SOURce:]ARBitrary:DAC:FORMat command.
– [SOURce:]LIST[1]:SSEQuence:DWELl:COUNt?: The data is returned in 16-bit
integer format.
– [SOURce:]LIST[1]:SSEQuence:COMBined?: The data is returned in the format
described under the
[SOURce:]LIST[1]:SSEQuence:COMBined command.
– [SOURce:]LIST[1]:SSEQuence:MARKer?: The data is returned in 16-bit
integer format.

If ASCII format is specified, <
length> must either be omitted or must be 9 (or MINimum or
MAXimum). Packed format ignores the <
length> parameter.
