Explanation
 This command consists of two parts: the command string ([:TRACe<n>]:DATA:DAC16
VOLATILE,<flag>) and the bianry data (<binary_block_data>).
 <flag> denotes the data transmission status and can only be set to END which denotes the data
transmission finishes.
 <binary_block_data> denotes the binary data to be downloaded. The data length ranges from
4Bytes (2pts) to 32kBytes (16kpts). <binary_block_data> is a binary data block starts 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. As each
waveform point corresponds to two bytes of binary number (the range is from 0000 to 3FFF; 0000
and 3FFF correspond to the minimum and maximum values of the waveform amplitude respectively),
the number of bytes must be an even number.
 When the data transmission completion denoter END is recieved, the instrument switches to
arbitrary waveform output automatically.
