Method 2: using data packed 8 bits per byte.
PATT:FORM PACK,8
PATT:UPAT5:IDAT 3.9,#12<data>
where
3 = the start bit
9 = the number of bits
# = the start of the header
1 = the number of decimal digits to follow forming the
length
2 = the length of the data block that follows
<data> = 2 data bytes containing binary 10011011 and
lxxxxxxx
PATT:UPATS:IDAT? 3,9
would return #12<data>
where
# = the start of the header
1 = the number of decimal digits to follow forming the
length
2 = the length of the data block that follows
<data> = 2 data bytes containing binary 10011011 and
10000000
[SOURce[1]:]PATTern:FORMat[:DATA] PACKed,<numeric value>
This command controls the format of data transfer for the
SOURCE1:PATTern:UPATtern<n>:DATA and
SOURCE1:PATTern:UPATtern<n>:IDATa commands.
It specifies the number of bits within each byte of the <block data> parameter used with
those commands. The First parameter must be PACKed. The <numeric value> parameter
may be set to either 1 or 8.
The *RST selection is “PACKed,1”.
