Analyzer Command Syntax

Code Naming Convention
The analyzer HP-D3 commands are derived from their front-panel key
titles (where possible), according to this naming convention:
Simple commands are the &st four letters of the function they control,
as in POWE, the command name for power. If the function label
contains two words, the first three mnemonic letters are the first three
letters of the fhst word, and the fourth mnemonic letter is the first
letter of the second word. For example, ELED is derived from electrical
delay.
If there are many commands grouped together in a category, as in
markers or plotting pen numbers, the command is increased to 8
letters. The first 4 letters are the category label and the last 4 letters
are the function specifier. As an example, category pen numbers are
represented by the command PENN, which is used in combination with
several functions such as PENNDATA, PENNMEMO.
The code naming guidelines, listed in Table l-2, are used in order to:
n   make commands more meaningful and easier to remember
n   ma%.ain compatibility with other products (including the HP 8510)

Note              There are times when these guidelines are not
                  followed due to technical considerations.

Some codes require appendages (ON, OFF, 1,2, etc.). Codes that do not
have a front-panel equivalent are HP-II3 only commands. They use a
similar convention based on the common name of the function.




l-8    BP-IB Programmi.ug and Commmd Beference Guide
Valid Characters
The analyzer accepts the following ASCII characters:
x letters
w numbers
n decimal points
n +I-
l  semicolons (;)
n  quotation marks (")
n carriage returns (CR)
w linefeeds (LF)
Both upper- and lower-case letters are acceptable. Carriage returns,
leading zeros, spaces, and unnecessary terminators are ignored, except
for those within a command or appendage. If the analyzer does not
recognize a character as appropriate, it generates a syntax error message
and recovers at the next terminator.

Units
The analyzer can input and output data in basic units such as Hz, dB,
seconds, etc.
    S     Seconds                           Hz       Hertz
    V     Volts                             DB       dB or dBm

Input data is assumed to be in basic units (see above) unless one of the
following units is used (upper and lower case are equivalent):
    MS Milliseconds                         KHZ Kilohertz
    US Microseconds                         MBZ Megahertz
    NS Nanoseconds                          GHZ  Gigahertz
    PS Picoseconds                          FS   Femtoseconds

Command Formats
The HP-R3 commands accepted by the analyzer can be grouped into five
input-syntax types. The analyzer does not distinguish between upper-
and lower-case letters.
General Structure:
The general syntaz structure is:
[code] [appendage] [data] [unit] [terminator]
The individual sections of the syntaz code are ezplained below.
[code]             The root mnemonic (these codes are described in
                   the "Alphabetical Mnemonic Listing" later in this
                   document.)
                   A qualifier attached to the root mnemonic Possible
                   appendages are ON or OF'F (toggle a function ON or
                   OFT), or integers, which specify one capability out of
                   several. There can be no spaces or symbols between
                   the code and the appendage.
Mat.4              A single operand used by the root mnemonic, usually
                   to set the value of a function. The data can be a
                   number or a character string. Numbers are accepted
                   as integers or decimals, with power of ten specified
                   by E (for example, STAR 8.2E+ 18; sets the start
                   frequency to 2 GHz). Character strings must be
                   enclosed by double quotation marks.
                   For example:
                   A title string using RMB BASIC would look like:
                   OUTPUT 716; "TITL"""Unitl""";           `I
                   where the first two `I `I are an escape so that RMB
                   BASIC will interpret the third `I properly.
[unit]             The units of the operand, if applicable. If no units
                   are specitled, the analyzer assumes the basic units
                   as described previously. The data is entered into
                   the function when either units or a terminator are
                   received.
[terminator]       Indicates the end of the command, enters the data,
                   and switches the active-entry area OFF. A semicolon
                   (;) is the recommended terminator.
                   Wminators are not necessary for the analyzer to
                   interpret commands correctly, but in the case of a
                   syntax error, the analyzer will attempt to recover at

l-10 HP-IB Pro@-g and Command lbference Guide
                  the next terminator. The analyzer also interprets line
                  feeds and HP-IB END OR IDENTIFY(EOI) messages as
                  terminators.

Syntax Types
The specific syntax types are:
SYNTAX TYPE 1: [code] [terminator]
   These are simple action commands that require no complementary
   information, such as AUTO; (autoscales the active channel).

SYNTAX TYPE 2: [code] [appendage] [terminator]
   These are simple action commands requiring limited customization,
   such as CORRON; and CORROFF; (error correction ON or OFT') or
   REM1 ; , RECAZ; , RECR3; (recall register 1,2,3). There can be no
   characters or symbols between the code and the appendage.

Note              In the following cases: CLEAREG[D] , RECAREGID] ,
                  SAVEREG[D], and EG[D], [D] must be 2 characters.
                  For example, CLEAREGB 1; will execute, while
                  CLEAREG 1; will generate a syntax error.


SYNTAX TYPE 3: [code] [data]  [unit][terminatorl
  These are data-input commands such as STAR 1.0 GHZ; (set the
   start frequency to 1 GHz).

SYNTAX TYPE 4: [code] [appendage] [data] [terminator]
   These are titling and marker commands that have an appendage,
   such as TITRl "STATE1 " (title register 1 STATEl), TITRZ
   `I TEST2 `I (title register 2 TEST2).

QUERY SYNTAX:   [code][?]
  To query a front-panel-equivalent function, append a question
  mark (?) to the root mnemonic (For example, POWE?, AVERO?, or
  REAL?.) To query commands with integer appendages, place the
  question mark after the appendage.

Analyzer Operation
Held Commands
The analyzer cannot process HP-lB commands while executing certain
key commands known as "held" commands. For example, SIN@ is a
held command because it requires the analyzer to take one sweep of
data before executing any other commands.
Once a held command is received, the analyzer will read new commands
into the input buffer, but it will not begin the execution of any
commands until the completion of the held command. When the
1Bcharacter input buffer is full, the analyzer will put hold on the bus
until it is able to process the commands in the buffer.

Note              Commands that call a calibration class are held if there
                  is just one standard in the class, since such commands
                  trigger a measurement.


Operation Complete
Occasionally, there is a need to know when certain analyzer operations
have been completed. There is an operation-complete function (OPC)
that allows a synchronization of programs with the execution of
certain key commands. This mechanism is activated by issuing OPC ;
or QPC?; prior to an OPC-compatible command. The status byte or
ESR operation-complete bit will then be set after the execution of the
OPC-compatible command. For example, issuing UPC; SING; causes the
OPC bit to be set when the single sweep is flnished. Issuing OPC?; in
place of the OPC; causes the analyzer to output a one (1) when the
command execution is complete. The analyzer will halt the computer
by not transmitting the one (1) until the command has completed. For
example, executing OPC? ; PRES ; , and then immediately querying the
analyzer causes the bus to halt until the instrument preset is complete
and the analyzer outputs a one (1).
As another example, consider the timing of sweep completion. Send
thecommandstringSWET 3 S;OPC?;SING; totheanalyzer. This
string sets the analyzer sweep time to 3 seconds, and then waits for
completion of a single sweep to respond with a one (1). The computer
should be programmed to read the number one (1) response from the
analyzer indicating completion of the single sweep. At this point a valid
trace exists and the trace data could be read into the computer.

HP-IB Procpammine and Command Reference Guide 1-18 HP-IB Operation The HewletMackard Interface Bus (HP-B) is Hewlett-Packard's hardware, software, documentation, and support for IEEE 488.2 and IEC-625 worldwide standards for interfacing instruments. This interface allows you to operate the analyzer and peripherals in two methods: n by an external system controller n by the network analyzer in system-controller mode Device Types The HP-B employs a party-line bus structure in which up to 15 devices can be connected on one contiguous bus. The interface consists of 16 signal lines and 8 ground lines within a shielded cable. With this cabling system, many different types of devices including instruments, computers, power meters, plotters, printers, and disk drives can be connected in parallel. Every HP-IB device must be capable of performing one or more of the following interface functions: Talker A talker is a device capable of transnu`tting device-dependent data when addressed to talk. There can be only one active talker at any given time. Ezamples of this type of device include: n power meters n disk drives n voltmeters n counters n tape readers The network analyzer is a talker when it sends trace data or marker information over the bus. Ltstener A listener is a device capable of receiving device-dependent data over the interface when addressed to listen. There can be as many as 14 listeners connected to the interface at any given time. Examples of this type of device include: n printers n power supplies w signal generators 1-14 HP-IB ProIpammine and Cemmand Eeference Guide The network analyzer is a listener when it is controlled over the bus by a system controller. Controller A controller is defined as a device capable of: 1. managing the operation of the bus 2. addressing talkers and listeners There can be only one active controller on the interface at any time. Examples of controllers include desktop computers, minicomputers, workstations, and the network analyzer. In a multiple-controller system, active control can be passed between controllers, but there can only be one system controller connected to the interface. The system controller acts as the master and can regain active control at any time. The analyzer is an active controller when it plots, prints, or stores to an external disk drive in the pass-control mode The analyzer is also a system controller when it is operating in the system controller mode, HP-IB ProIplumning and comtllsn d Eeference Ghide l-15 HP-IB Bus Structure Figure l-l. HP-IB Bus Structure Data Bus The data bus consists of 8 bi-directional lines that are used to transfer data from one device to another. Progmmming commands and data transmitted on these lines are typically encoded in ASCII, although binary encoding is often used to speed up the transfer of large arrays. Both ASCII- and binary-data formats are available to the analyzer. In addition, every byte transferred over HP-E3 undergoes a handshake to insure valid data. Handshake Lines A three-line handshake scheme coordinates the transfer of data between talkers and listeners. `lb insure data integrity in multiple-listener transfers, this technique forces data transfers to occur at the transfer l-16 H P - I B Prolpammipg a n d C o -d Reference Guide rate of the slowest device connected to the interface. With most computing controllers and instruments, the handshake is performed automatically, making it transparent to the programmer. Control Lines The data bus also has five control lines, The controller uses these lines to address devices and to send bus commands. IFC (Interface Clear) This line is used exclusively by the system controller. When this line is true (low), all devices (whether addressed or not) unaddress and revert to an idle state. ATN (Attention) The active controller uses this line to define whether the information on the data bus is command-oriented or dataoriented. When this line is true (low), the bus is in the command mode, and the data lines carry bus commands. When this lineisfalse(high),thebusisinthe data mode, and the data lines carry device-dependent instructions or data. SRQ (Service Request) This line is set true (low) when a device requests service and the active controller services the requesting device, The network analyxer can be enabled to pull the SRQ line for a variety of reasons such as requesting control of the interface, for the purposes of printing, plotting, or accessing a disk. REN (Remote Enable) This line is used exclusively by the system controller. When this line is set true (low), the bus is in the remote mode, and devices are addressed by the controller to either listen or talk. When the bus is in remote mode and a device is addressed, it receives instructions from the system controller via HP-IE3 rather than from its front panel HP-IB ProEpammtng and Command Reference Chhie 1-17 (pressing (Local) returns the device to front-panel operation). When this line is set false (high), the bus and all of the connected devices return to local operation. EOI (End or Identify) This line is used by a talker to indicate the last data byte in a multiple-byte transmission, or by an active controller to initiate a parallel-poll sequence. The analyzer recognizes the EOI line as a terminator, and it pulls the EOI line with the last byte of a message output (data, markers, plots, prints, error messages). The analyzer does not respond to parallel poll. l-18 HE-IB Procpsnrming and Command lteferencw GMde HP-II3 Requirements Number of Interconnected 15 maximum. Devices: Interconnection Path Maximum 20 meters maximum or 2 meters per Cable Length: device (whichever is less). Message Transfer Scheme: Byte serial, bit parallel asynchronous data transfer using a 3-line handshake system. Data Rate: Maximum of 1 megabyte-per-second over the speci3ed distances with &i-state drivers. Actual data rate depends on the transfer rate of the slowest device connected to the bus. Address Capability: primary addresses: 31 talk, 31 listen. A maximum of 1 taker and 14 listeners can be connected to the interface at given time. Multiple-Controller Capability: ln systems with more than one controller (such as this instrument), only one controller can be active at any given time. The active controller can pass control to another controller, but only the system controller can assume unconditional control. Only one sgrtem controller is allowed. HP-IBPro@rtsammh@andCo- dR.eferenceGnide l-19 HP-II3 Operational Capabilities On the network analyzer's rear panel, next to the HP-II3 connector, there is a list of HP-R3 device subsets as defined by the IEEE 488.2 standard.

The HP-IE3 status indicators are located in the instrument-state function block on the front panel of the network analyzer. R - Remote Operation L - Listen mode T = `Mkmode S - Service request (SRQ) asserted by the analyzer Bus Device Modes The analyzer uses a single-bus architecture. The single bus allows both the analyzer and the host controller to have complete access to the peripherals in the system. Three different controller modes are possible in an HP-R3 system: n system-controller mode n talker/listener mode n pass-control mode HPIB Prolpasmnfng and Cmumand Iteference ffuide 1-21 GRAPHICS PLOTTER SYSTEM CORTROLLER Figure 1-2. Analyzer Single Bus Concept System-Controller Mode This mode allows the analyzer to control peripherals directly in a stand-alone environment (without an external controller). This mode can only be selected manually from the analyzer's front panel. It can only be used if no active computer or instrument controller is connected to the system via HP-B If an attempt is made to set the network analyzer to the system-controller mode when another controller is connected to the interface, the following message is displayed on the analyzer's display screen: "ANOTHERSYSTEMCONTROLLERONHP-IBBUS" The analyzer must be set to the system-controller mode in order to access peripherals from the front panel. In this mode, the analyzer can 1-22 HP-IB ProLpannning and Comman d Beference Gnide directly control peripherals (plotters, printers, disk drives, power meters, etc) and the analyzer may plot, print, store on disk or perform power meter functions. Note Do not attempt to use this mode for programming. HP recommends using an ezternal instrument controller when programming. See the following section, "`Ihlker/Listener Mode. m ThlkerListener Mode This is the mode that is normally used for remote programming of the analyzer. In talker/listener mode, the analyzer and all peripheral devices are controlled from an external instrument controller. The controller can command the analyzer to talk and other devices to listen. The analyzer and peripheral devices cannot talk directly to each other unless the computer sets up a data path between them. This mode allows the analyzer to act as either a talker or a listener, as required by the controlling computer for the particular operation in progress. Pass-Control Mode !l'his mode allows the computer to control the analyzer via HP-IB (as with the talker/listener mode), but a&o allows the analyzer to take control of the interface in order to plot, print, or access a disk. During an analyzer-controlled peripheral operation, the host computer is free to perform other internal tasks (i.e. data or display manipulation) while the analyzer is controlling the bus. After the analyzer-controlled task is completed, the analyzer returns control to the system controller. Note Performing an instrument preset does not affect the selected bus mode, although the bus mode will return to talker/listener mode if the line power is cycled. Note "SpeciWations and Measurement Uncertainties" in the HP 8753E Netwark Analyzer User's G&de provides information on setting the correct bus mode from the front-panel menu. Analyzer Bus Modes As discussed earlier, under HP-IB control, the analyzer can operate in one of three modes: talker/listeneq pass-control, or system-controller mode. HP-IB Progmmming and Commm d Reference Guide l-28 In talker/listener mode, the analyzer behaves as a simple device on the bus. While in this mode, the analyzer can make a plot or print using the OUTPPLOT; or OUTPPRIN; commands. The analyzer will wait until it is addressed to talk by the system controller and then dump the display to a plotter/printer that the system controller has addressed to listen. Use of the commands PLOT; and PR I NALL; require control to be passed to another controller. In pass-control mode, the analyzer can request control from the system controller and take control of the bus if the controller addresses it to take control. This allows the analyzer to take control of printers, plotters, and disk drives on an as-needed basis. The analyzer sets event-status register bit 1 when it needs control of the interface, and the analyzer will transfer control back lo the system controller at the completion of the operation. It will pass control back to its controller address, specified by ADDRCONT. The analyzer can also operate in the system-controller mode. This mode is only used when there is no remote controller on the bus. In this mode, the analyzer takes control of the bus, and uses it whenever it needs to access a peripheral. While the analyzer is in this mode, no other devices on the bus can attempt to take control. Speciiically, the REN, ATN, and IFC lines must remain unasserted, and the data lines must be freed by all but the addressed talker. Setting HP-IB Addresses In systems interfaced using HP-IR, each instrument on the bus is identified by an HP-IR address. This address code must be different for each instrument on the bus. These addresses are stored in short-term, non-volatile memory and are not affected when you press IPreset or cycle the power. Note The analyzer occupies two HP-IB addresses: the instrument itself and the display. The display address is derived from the instrument address by complementing the instrument's least-significant bit. Hence, if the instrument is at an even address, the display occupies the next higher address. If the instrument is at an odd address, the display occupies the next lower address. 1-24 HP-IB Prolpamming and Cammand Reference Guide The analyzer addresses are set by pressing (Local) g@jj ~~~~~~~~~. In system-controller mode, the addresses must be set for the plotter, printer, disk drive, and power meter. The default address for the analyzer is device 16, and the display address is device 17. Note There is also an address for the system controller, This address refers to the controller when the network analyzer is being used in pass-control mode. This is the address that control is passed back to when the analyzer-controlled operation is complete. Response to HP-IB Meta-Messages (IEEE-488 Universal Commands) Abort The analyzer responds to the abort message (IFC) by halting all listener, talker, and controller functions. Device Clear The analyzer responds to the device clear commands (DCL, SDC) by clearing the input and output queues, and clearing any HP-IB errors The status registers and the error queue are unaffected. Local The analyzer wig go into local mode if the local command (GTL) is received, the remote line is unasserted, or the front-panel local key is pressed. Changing the analyzer's HP-IB status from remote to local does not affect any of the front-panel functions or values. Local Lockout If the analyzer receives the local-lockout command (LLO) while it is in remote mode, it will disable the entire front panel except for the line power switch. A local-lockout condition can only be cleared by releasing the remote line, although the local command (GTL) will place the instrument temporarily in local mode. Parallel Poll The analyzer does not respond to parallel-poll coniigure (PPC) or parallel-poll unconflgure (PPU) messages. HP-IB Prom a.nd Cormnan d Reference Ghride 1-26 Pass Control If the analyzer is in pass-control mode, is addressed to ta&, and receives the take-control command (TCT), from the system control it will take active control of the bus. If the analyzer is not requesting control, it will immediately pass control to the system controller's address. Otherwise, the analyzer will execute the function for which it sought control of the bus and then pass control back to the system controller. The analyzer will go into remote mode when the remote line is asserted and the analyzer is addressed to listen. While the analyzer is held in remote mode, all front-panel keys (with the exception of m) are disabled. Changing the analyzer's HP-IE% status from remote to local does not affect any front-panel settings or values. Serial Poll The analyzer will respond to a serial poll with its status byte, as detied in the "Status Reporting" section of this document. lb initiate the serial-poll sequence, address the analyzer to talk and issue a serial-poll enable command (SPE). Upon receiving this command, the analyzer will return its status byte. End the sequence by issuing a serial-poll disable command (SPD). A serial poll does not affect the value of the status byte, and it does not set the instrument to remote mode. In hold mode, the analyzer responds to device trigger by taking a single sweep. The analyzer responds only to selected-device trigger (SDT). This means that it will not respond to group execute-trigger (GET) unless it is addressed to listen. The analyzer will not respond to GET if it is not in hold mode. l-26 H P - I B Pro@aamnin~ a n d C o -d Reference Guide Reading Analyzer Data Output Queue Whenever an output-data command is received, the analyzer puts the data into the output queue (or buffer) where it is held until the system controller outputs the next read command. The queue, however, is only one event long: the next output-data command will overwrite the data aheady in the queue. Therefore it is important to read the output queue immediately after every query or data request from the analyzer. Command Query All instrument functions can be queried to find the current ON/OFF state or value. For instrument state commands, append the question mark character (?) to the command to query the state of the functions. Suppose the operator has changed the power level from the analyzer's front panel. The computer can ascertain the new power level using the analyzer's commandquery function. If a question mark is appended to the root of a command, the analyzer will output the value of that function. For instance, POWE 7 DB; sets the source power to 7 dB, and POWE?; outputs the current RF source power at the test port. When the analyzer receives POWE? ; , it prepares to transnu`t the current RF source power level. This condition illuminates the analyzer front-panel talk light (T). In this case, the analyzer transmits the output power to the controller. ON/OFF commands can also be queried. The reply is a one (1) if the function is ON or a zero (0) if it is OFF. For example, if a command controls an active function that is underlined on the analyzer display, querying that command yields a one (1) if the command is underlined or a zero (0) if it is not. As another example, there are nine options on the format menu and only one option is underlined at a time. Only the underlined option will return a one when queried. For instance, send the command string DUAC?; to the analyzec If dual-channel display is switched ON, the analyzer will return a one (1) to the instrument controller Similarly, to determine if phase is being measured and displayed, send the command string PHAS?; to the analyzer. In this case, the analyzer will return a one (1) if phase is currently being displayed. Since the command only applies to the active channel, the response to the PHAS?; query depends on which channel is active. Hl'-IB Pro- and Commtw~ d Eeference Guide 1-27 Identification The analyzer's response to IDN?; is HEWLETT PACKARD, 87NNE, 8, X. XX where 87NNE is the model number of the instrument and XXX is the firmware revision of the instrument. The analyzer also has the capability to output its serial number with the command OUTPSERN; , and to output its installed options with the command OUTPOPTS; . Output Syntax The following three types of data are transmitted by the analyzer in ASCII format: m response to query m certain output commands n ASCII floating-point (FORM4) array transfers 1-28 BP-IB Prolpamming and Comma d Befertmce Guide Markerautput commands and queried commands are output in ASCII format only, meaning that each character and each digit is transmitted as a separate byte, leaving the receiving computer to reconstruct the numbers and strings. Numbers are transnu `tted as 24-character strings, consisting of: Figure l-3. FORM4 (ASCII) Data-Transfer Character String Sign `-' for negative, blank for positive. 3 digits Digits to the left of the decimal point. Decimal point Standard decimal point. 16 digits Digits to the right of the decimal point. E Exponent notation. S&W `-' for negative, ' + ' for positive. Exponent Two digits for the exponent. When multiple numbers are sent, the numbers are separated by commas. When number pairs are sent, the numbers are separated by a comma and terminated with a line feed (LF`). H P - I B Programmbg a n d C o -d Reference Guide l-29 Marker Data The network analyzer offers several options for outputting trace-related data. Data can be selectively read from the trace using the markers, or the entire trace can be read by the controller. If only speci& information is required (such as a single point on the trace or the result of a marker search), the marker output command can be used to read the information. Speciftc data points can be read using the OU'lTDATP or OUTPDATR commands. These commands allow a much faster data transfer than when using markers to output speci& data points. For more information on these commands, see "Limit Line and Data Point Special Functiona" located in HP BASIC Programming Ihamp2es G-2&k A marker must IWt be assigned to the desired frequency before it can be used to read the trace data. This is accomplished using the marker commands. The controller sends a marker command followed by a frequency within the trace-data range If the actual desired frequency was not sampled, the markers can be set to continuous mode and the desired marker value wig be linearly interpolated from the two nearest points. This interpolation can be prevented by putting the markers into discrete mode Discrete mode allows the marker to only be positioned on a measured trace-data point. As an alternative, the analyzer can be programmed to choose the stimulus value by using the MARKER SEARCH function. Maximum, minimum, target value, or bandwidths search can be automatically determined with MARKER SEARCH. To continually update the search, switch the marker tracking ON. The trace-maximum search will remain activated until: n The search is switched OFF. n The tracking is switched OFE n All markers are switched OFT. l-80 HP-IB Pro@tunmin~ and C+uuman d Reference Guide Marker data can be output to a controller by using analyzer commands. These commands cause the analyzer to trammu`t three numbers: marker value 1, marker value 2, and marker stimulus value. For example, in log-magnitude display mode we get the log magnitude at the marker (value l), zero (value 2), and the marker frequency. See `Ihble l-4 for a complete listing of all the possibilities for values 1 and 2. The four possibilities for the marker stimulus value are: n frequency n time (as in time domain, Option 010 Only) n CWtime n power (in power sweep mode) HP-IB Programming and Comnuu~ d Reference Guide l-81 T T ltrble 1-4.

See also "Fast Data Transfer Commands." 1-82 HP-IB Prolpcumning and Command Reference Guide Array-Data Formats The analyzer can transmit and receive arrays in the analyzer's internal binary format as well as four different numeric formats. The current format is set with the FORMl,FORM2, FORM3, FORM4, and FORM6 commands. These commands do not affect learn-string transfers, calibration-kit string transfers, or non-array transfers, such as command query, or output marker values. A transmitted array will be output in the current format, and the analyzer will attempt to read incoming arrays according to the current format. Eachdatapointinanarrayisapairofnumbers,usuallya real/ima&ary pair The number of data points in each array is the same as the number of points in the current sweep. The five formats are described below: FORM1 The analyzer's internal binary format, 6 bytes-per-data point. The array is preceded by a four-byte header. The Wst two bytes represent the string "#A `I, the standard block header. The second two bytes are an integer representing the number of bytes in the block to follow. FORM1 is best applied when rapid data transfers, not to be modified by the computer nor interpreted by the user, are required. FORM2 IEEE 32-bit floating-point format, 8 bytes-per-data point. The data is preceded by the same header as in FORMl. Each number consists of a l-bit sign, an &bit biased exponent, and a 23-bit mantissa. FORM2 is the format of choice if your computer supports single-precision floating-point numbers. FORM3 IEEE 64-bit floating-point format, 10 bytes-perdata point. The data is preceded by the same header as in FORMl. Each number consists of a l-bit sign, an 11-bit biased exponent, and a 62-bit mantissa. This format may be used with double-precision floating-point numbers No additional precision is available in the analyzer data, but FORM3 may be a convenient form for transferring data to your computer. HP-IB Prognumning and Cbmmcm d Eeference Guide I-88 FORM4 ASCII floating-point format. The data is transmitted as ASCII numbers, as described previously in "Output Syntax". There is no header. The analyzer always uses FORM4 to transfer data that is not related to array transfers (i.e. marker responses and instrument settings). FORM5 PC-DOS 32-bit floating-point format with 4 bytes-per-number, 8 bytes-per-data point. The data is preceded by the same header as in FORMl. The byte order is reversed to comply with PC-DOS formats. If you are using a PC-based controller, FORM6 is the most effective format to use. The analyzer terminates each transmission by asserting the EOI interface line with the last byte transnu`tted. !Ihble l-6 offers a comparative overview of the five arraydata formats. l'hble 1-5.
