:BORDer command
:BORDer <name>
:FORMat:BORDer <name> Specify binary byte order
Parameters <name> = NORMal Normal byte order for binary formats
SWAPped Reverse byte order for binary formats
Query :BORDer? Query byte order
Description This command is used to control the byte order for the IEEE754 binary
formats. For normal byte order, the data format for each element is sent
as follows:
Byte 1 Byte 2 Byte 3 Byte 4 (Single precision)
Byte 1 Byte 2 ... Byte 8 (Double precision
For reverse byte order, the data format for each element is sent as follows:
Byte 4 Byte 3 Byte 2 Byte 1 (Single precision)
Byte 8 Byte 7 ... Byte 1 (Double precision)
The “#0” header is not affected by this command. The header is always
sent at the beginning of the data string for each measurement conversion.
The ASCII data format can only be sent in the normal byte order. The
