Command Descriptions
WFMPre:ENCdg
Sets or queries the type of encoding for waveform data transferred with the
CURVe command. Changing WFMPre:ENCdg also changes DATa:ENCdg.

WFMPre:ENCdg { ASC | BIN }
WFMPre:ENCdg?
Related Commands
Arguments
ASC specifies A
SCII curve data.
BIN specifies binary curve data.
Examples
WFMPRE:ENCDG ASC specifies that the waveform d ata is in ASCII format.
WFMPRE:ENCDG? might return BIN , indicating that the waveform data is in binary
format.
WFMPre:NR_Pt? (Query Only)
Returns the number of points that are in the transmitted waveform record, as
specified by DATa:SOUrce. The number of points depends on DATa:STARt,
DATa :STOP, and whether DATa:SOUrce is YT or FFT. NR_Pt is at most 2500 for
YT and 1024 for FFT. NR_Pt is always at least one.
When the DATa:SOUrce is not displayed, the TDS210 and TDS220 (firmware
below V 2.00) with a TDS2CMA communications module will return a value. All
other oscilloscope, firmware version, and module combinations will generate an
error and will return event code 2244.

WFMPRE:NR_PT? might return 1024, which is the number of data points. If
DATa:WIDth is 2, then there are 2048 bytes
in the curve.
