Getting Optimum Performance from Your Unit

 Output format (RS-232, ActiveX and TCP/IP): Your unit provides the

following output formats for measurement results:

 ASCii

 PACKed

Generally, the PACKed format allows to pass three to four times more

information than the ASCii format for the same transfer rate. Often, the

PACKed format is also more efficient since it reduces your unit CPU

work load (no need for an internal conversion to ASCII format).

Note: The PACKed format will only be applied to <DEFINITE LENGTH ARBITRARY

BLOCK RESPONSE DATA> and <INDEFINITE LENGTH ARBITRARY BLOCK

RESPONSE DATA>.

Note: The choice of data format cannot be made directly via the ToolBox X

software.

For more information on how to set the output format and data types, see

:FORMat[:DATA](IEEE 488.2 and specific commands appendix), Read and

ReadBinary (COM properties and events appendix), and the data types

appendix.
