Arguments
<Block> is the waveform data in binary format. The waveform is formatted as:
#<x><yyy><data> w here <x> is the number of characters in <yyy>. For example,
if <yyy> = 500, then <x> = 3 , where <yyy> is the number of bytes to transfer.
Refer to Block Arguments
If width is 1, then all bytes on the bus are single data points. If width is 2, then
all bytes on the bus are 2-byte pairs. Use the DATa:WIDth command to set the
width. <data> is the curve data.
<asc cu rve> is the waveform data in ASCII format. The format for ASCII data
is <NR1>[,<NR1>...] where each <NR1> represents a data point.
Examples
CURVE might return the following ASCII da ta:
CURVE 1 3,6,3,2,-1,-9,-1 4,-19,-29,-35,-67,-1,-78,-62,
-50,-31,-27,-7,0,12,29,39, 45,43,41,47,41,38,33,26
DATa
Sets or queries the format and location of the waveform data that is transferred
with the CURVe command. Since DATa:DESTination and DATa:TARget are
equivalent, only DATa:DESTination is returned by the DATa? query.
