TIME - lists the peaks in order of occurrence, left to right across the x-axis.

Peaks vs. Display Line:

l

ALL - lists all of the peaks found (default if optional parameter not sent).

l

GTDLine (greater than display line) - lists all of the peaks found above the display line.

l

LTDLine (less than display line) - lists all of the peaks found below the display line.

Data Format Commands

This group includes commands that control the formatting of data transfers between the
instrument and the controller. It comprises the following commands:

"Format Data: Byte Order (Remote Command Only)" on page 125

Format Data: Numeric Data (Remote Command Only)

This command specifies the format of the trace data input and output. It specifies the formats
used for trace data during data transfer across any remote port. It affects only the data format for
setting and querying trace data for the :TRACe[:DATA], TRACe[:DATA]?, :CALCulate:DATA[n]?
and FETCh:SANalyzer[n]? commands and queries.

Remote Command

:FORMat[:TRACe][:DATA] ASCii|INTeger,32|REAL,32 |REAL,64

:FORMat[:TRACe][:DATA]?

Notes

The query response is:

ASCii: ASC,8

REAL,32: REAL,32

REAL,64: REAL,64

INTeger,32: INT,32

When the numeric data format is REAL or ASCii, data is output in the current Y Axis unit. When
the data format is INTeger, data is output in units of m dBm (.001 dBm).

The INT,32 format returns binary 32-bit integer values in internal units (m dBm), in a definite
length block.

Dependencies

Sending a data format spec with an invalid number (for example, INT,48) generates no error. The
analyzer simply uses the default (8 for ASCii, 32 for INTeger, 32 for REAL).

Sending data to the analyzer which does not conform to the current FORMat specified, results in
