Each two bytes (in hex) encodes the
vertical data of a data point. The data
is signed hex data (2’s complement, 32768 ~ 32767).
Waveform Raw Data Example:
Header raw data……….
Hex:
23 34 32 30 30 30 00 1C 00 1B 00 1A 00
1A 00 1B ………..
ASCII/Decimal:
#42000 28 27 26 26 27…….
The actual value of a data point can be
calculated with the following formula:
(Decimal value of hex data/AD
Factor) * vertical scale.
Note: AD Factor is fixed as 25. The
vertical scale is returned with the
41
MDO-2000E Series Programming Manual
acquisition settings that precede the
raw data.
For example if the raw data for a point
is 001C (=28 decimal) then,
(28/25) x 0.5 = 0.56V
