ZVx Introduction/Brief Instructions

3 Remote Control

3.1 Introduction

The instrument is equipped with two IEC/IEEE bus interfaces according to standard IEC 625.1/IEEE

488.1 and two RS-232 interfaces. Either the connector labeled SCPI IEC625 (the upper IEC/IEEE bus interf ace) or both of the RS-232

interfaces can be used for remote control of the instrum ent. In addition, the instrum ent is equipped with an RSIB interface that allows instrument control by Visual C++ and Visual Basic programs

In certain operating modes (e.g. f requency conversion m easur em ents), the ins trum ent can c ontrol other instruments which are connected to it as part of an IEC/IEEE bus chain via the connec tor labeled SCPI SYSTEM BUS (the lower IEC/IEEE bus interface). The usage of this IEC/IEEE bus interface is described in further detail in the relevant sections of the operating manual.

The instrument supports the SCPI version 1994.0 (Standard Commands for Programmable Instruments). T he SCPI standard is based on standard IEEE 488.2 and aim s at the standardization of device-specific commands, error handling and the status registers (see Section 3.5.1, SCPI Introduction).

This section assumes basic knowledge of IEC-bus programming and operation of the controller. A description of the interface c omm ands is to be obtained from the relevant m anuals.

functions are matched to the function interface for IEC/IEEE-bus programming from National Instruments. The functions supported by the DLLs are listed in annex A.

The RSIB interface

The requirements of the SCPI standard placed on com m and syntax, error handling and configur ation of the status registers are explained in detail in the r espective sections. Tables provide a fast overview of the commands implem ented in the instrument and the bit assignm ent in the status regis ters. T he tables are supplemented by a comprehensive description of every command and the status registers.

The program examples for IEC/IEEE bus programming are all written in Quick BASIC.

3.2 Brief Instructions

The short and simple operating sequence given below permits fast putting into operation of the instrument and setting of its basic functions. As a prerequisite, the IEC/IEEE bus address, which is factory-set to 20, must not have been changed.

1. Connect instrument and controller using IEC/IEEE bus cable.

2. Write and start the following program on the controller:

CALL IBFIND("DEV1", analyzer%) ’Open port to the instrument CALL IBPAD(analyzer%, 20) ’Inform controller about instrument

’address

CALL IBWRT(analyzer%, "*RST;*CLS") ’Reset instrument CALL IBWRT(analyzer%, "FREQ:CENT 100MHz") ’Set center frequency to 100 MHz CALL IBWRT(analyzer%, "FREQ:SPAN 10MHz") ’Set span to 10 MHz

The instrument now performs a sweep in the frequency range of 95 MHz to 105 MHz.

3. To return to manual control, press the LOCAL key at the front panel

1043.0009.50 3.1 E-15

Switchover to Remote Control ZVx

3.3 Switchover to Remote Control

On power-on, the instrument is always in the manual operating state ("LOCAL" state) and can be operated via the front panel. It is switched to remote control ("REMOTE" state)

IEC/IEEE bus as soon as it receives an addressed command from a controller. RS-232 as soon as it receives the command "@REM" from a controller. RSIB as soon as it receives an addressed command from a controller. During remote control, operation via the f ront panel is disabled. The instrum ent remains in the remote

state until it is reset to the manual state via the f ront panel or via remote control interfaces . Switching from manual operation to remote control and vice versa does not affect the remaining instrument settings.

3.3.3 Remote Control via RSIB Interface

3.3.3.1 Windows Environment

To access the measuring instruments via the RSIB interface the DLLs should be installed in the corresponding directories:

• RSIB.DLL in Windows NT system directory or control application directory.

• RSIB32.DLL in Windows NT system32 directory or control application directory.

On the measuring instrument the DLL is already installed in the corresponding directory. The control is performed with Visual C++ or Visual Basic programs. The local link to the internal controller is established with the name ’@local’.If a remote contr oller is used, the instr ument IP address is to be indicated here.

Via VisualBasic: internal controller: ud = RSDLLibfind (’@local’, ibsta, iberr, ibcntl) remote controller:ud = RSDLLibfind (’82.1.1.200’, ibsta, iberr, ibcntl)

3.3.3.2 Unix Environment

In order to access the measuring equipment via the RSIB interface, copy the librsib.so.X.Y file to a directory for which the control application has read rights. X.Y in the file name indicates the version number of the library, for example 1.0.

The librsib.so.X.Y library is created as a shared library. The applications using the library have nothing to do with versions. They simply link the library with the lrsib option. The following instr uctions have to be observed so that linking can be successfully perform ed and the library can be found during the program run:

File link:

• Use the operating system command In to create a file with the link name librsib.so and pointing to librsib.so.X.Y in a directory for which the control application has read rights. Example:

$ ln –s /usr/lib/librsib.so.1.0 /usr/lib/librsib.so

Linker options for creating applications:

• -lrsib : import library

• -Lxxx : path information where the im port library can be found. T his is where the above file link has

been created. Example: -L/usr/lib.

Additional linker options for creating applications (only under Solaris):

• -Rxxx: path information where the library is searched for during the program run:

-R/usr/lib.

Run-time environment:

• Set environment variable LD_RUN_PATH to the directory in which the file link has been created. This is necessary only if librsib.so cannot be found in the standard search path of the operating system and the -R linker option (only Solaris) was not specified.

For C/C++ programm ing, the declarations of the library functions and the definition of error codes ar e contained in:

C/C++: 'RSIB.H' (D:\R_S\Instr\RSIB)

Messages ZVx

3.4 Messages

The messages transf erred via the data lines of the IEC bus or via the RSIB Interf ace (s ee annex A) can be divided into two groups:

– interface messages and – device messages.

For the RS-232 interface, no interface messages are defined.

3.4.1 IEC/IEEE bus Interface Messages

Interface messages are transf erred on the data lines of the IEC bus, the "AT N" contr ol line being active. They are used for communication between controller and instrument and can only be sent by a controller which has the IEC/IEEE bus control. Interface commands can be subdivided into

– universal commands and – addressed commands.

Universal commands act on all devices connected to the IEC bus without previous addressing, addressed comm ands only act on devices previously addressed as listeners. The interf ace messages relevant to the instrument are listed in annex A.

Some control characters are defined for the control of the RS-232-interface (see annex A).

3.4.2 RSIB Interface Messages

The RSIB interface enables the instrument to be controlled by Windows applications. The interface functions are matched to the function interface for IEC/IEEE-bus programming from National Instruments. The functions supported by interface are listed in annex A

3.4.3 Device Messages (Commands and Device Responses)

Device messages are transferred on the data lines of the IEC bus, the "ATN" control line not being active. ASCII code is used. The device m es sages ar e m ore or les s equal f or the 2 interfac es (IEC/IEEE bus and RS-232). A distinction is made according to the direction in which they are sent on the IEC bus:

– Commands are messages the controller sends to the instrument. They operate the device

functions and request informations. The commands are subdivided according to two criteria::

1. According to the effect they have on the instrument: Setting commands cause instrument settings such as reset of the

instrument or setting the center frequency.

Queries cause data to be provided for output on the IEC/IEEE

bus, e.g. for identification of the device or polling the marker.

2. According to their definition in standard IEEE 488.2:

Common Commands are exactly defined as to their function and

notation in standard IEEE 488.2. They refer to functions such as m anagement of the standar -dized status registers, reset and selftest.

Device-specific commands refer to functions depending on the features of the

instrument such as fr equency setting. A majority of these commands has also been standar dized by the SCPI committee (cf. Section 3.5.1).

– Device responses are messages the instrument sends to the controller after a query. They can

contain measurement results, instrument settings and information on the instrument status (cf. Section 3.5.4).

Structure and syntax of the device mess ages are described in Section 3.5. The comm ands are listed and explained in detail in Section 3.6.

3.5 Structure and Syntax of the Device Messages

3.5.1 SCPI Introduction

SCPI (Standard Commands for Programmable Instruments) describes a standard command set for programming instrum ents, irrespective of the type of instrument or manuf acturer. The goal of the SCPI consortium is to standar dize the device-specific com mands to a large extent. For this purpose, a m odel was developed which defines the same functions inside a device or for different devices. Command systems were generated which are assigned to these func tions. T hus it is possible to addres s the sam e functions with identical commands. The command systems are of a hierarchical structure. Fig. 3-1 illustrates this tree structure using a section of command system SENSe, which controls devicespecific settings. The other examples concerning syntax and structure of the commands are derived from this command system. SCPI is based on standard IEEE 488.2, i.e. it uses the sam e syntactic basic elements as well as the common com m ands defined in this standard. Part of the syntax of the device responses is defined with greater restrictions than in standard IEEE 488.2 (see Section "Responses to Queries").

3.5.2 Structure of a Command

The comm ands c onsist of a so-c alled header and, in m ost c ases , one or m ore parameters. Header and parameter are separated by a "white space" (ASCII code 0 to 9, 11 to 32 decimal, e.g. blank). The headers may consist of several key words. Queries ar e f or med by directly appending a question mark to the header.

Note: The commands used in the following examples are not in ever y case implemented in the

instrument.

Common commands Common commands consist of a header preceded by an asterisk "*"

and one or several parameters, if any. Examples: *RST RESET, resets the device

*ESE 253 EVENT STATUS ENABLE, sets the bits of

the event status enable register

*ESR? EVENT STATUS QUERY, queries the

contents of the event status register.

ZVx Structure and Syntax of the Device Messages

Device-specific commands

Hierarchy: Device-specific com mands are of hierarchical str ucture (see Fig. 3-1).

The different levels are r epresented by combined headers. Headers of the highest level (root level) have only one key word. This key word denotes a complete command system.

Example: SENSe This key word denotes the comm and system

SENSe.

For commands of lower levels, the complete path has to be specified, starting on the left with the highest level, the individual key words being separated by a colon ":".

Example: SENSe:FREQuency:SPAN 100E6

This command lies in the fourth level of the SENSe system. It determines which parameter remains unchanged when the span is changed. If LINK is set to STARt, the values of CENTer and STOP ar e adjusted when the span is changed.

SENSe

BANDwidth

Fig. 3-1Tree structure of the SCPI command systems: The SENSe system

Some key words occur in several levels within one command system. Their effect depends on the struc ture of the command, that is to say, at which position in the header of a command they are inserted.

Example: SOURce:FM:POLarity NORMal

FREQuency

STOP

This command contains key word POLarity in the third command level. It defines the polarity between modulator and modulation signal.

SOURce:FM:EXTernal:POLarity NORMal

This command contains key word POLarity in the fourth command level. It defines the polarity between modulation voltage and the resulting direction of the m odulation only for the external signal source indicated.

CENTer

SPANSTARt

1043.0009.50 3.9 E-15

Structure and Syntax of the Device Messages ZVx

Optional key words: Some command systems perm it c er tain k e y words to be optionally inserted

into the header or omitted. These key words are marked by square brackets in the descr iption. The full command length m ust be recognized by the instrument for reasons of compatibility with the SCPI standard. Some commands are considerably shortened by omitting these optional key words.

Example: [SENSe]:BANDwidth[:RESolution]:AUTO

This command couples the resolution bandwidth of the instrument to other parameters. The following command has the same effect:

BANDwidth:AUTO

Note: An optional key word must not be omitted if its effect is specified

in detail by a numeric suffix.

Long and short form: The key words feature a long form and a shor t form. Either the s hort form

or the long form can be entered, other abbreviations are not permissible. Beispiel: STATus:QUEStionable:ENABle 1= STAT:QUES:ENAB 1

Note: The short form is marked by upper-c ase letters, the long form

corresponds to the complete word. Upper-cas e and lower-case notation only serve the above purpose, the instrument itself does not make any difference between upper-c ase and lowercase letters.

Parameters: The parameter m ust be separated from the header by a "white space". If

several parameters are specif ied in a command, they are separated by a comma ",". A f ew queries perm it the param eter s MINim um , MAXim um and DEFault to be entered. For a description of the types of param eter, ref er to Section 3.5.5.

Example: SENSe:FREQuency:STOP? MAXimum Response:

This query requests the maximal value for the stop frequency.

Numeric suffix: If a device features several functions or features of the same kind, e.g.

inputs, the desired function can be selec ted by a suffix added to the command. Entries without suffix are interpreted like entries with the suffix 1.

Example:. SYSTem:COMMunicate:SERial2:BAUD 9600

This command sets the baudrate of the second serial interface.

3.5.3 Structure of a Command Line

A command line m ay consist of one or several comm ands. It is term inated by a <New Line>, a <New Line> with EOI or an EOI together with the last data byte. Quick BASIC automatically produces an EOI together with the last data byte.

Several commands in a comm and line are separated by a semicolon ";". If the next com mand belongs to a different command system, the semicolon is followed by a colon.

Example:

CALL IBWRT(analyzer%, "SENSe:FREQuency:CENTer 100MHz;:INPut:ATTenuation 10")

This command line contains two commands. The first command is part of the SENSe system and is used to specify the center frequenc y of the analyzer. The second comm and is part of the INPut system and sets the attenuation of the input signal.

If the successive com mands belong to the sam e system, having one or several levels in common, the command line can be abbr eviated. T o this end, the s ec ond command after the s emicolon starts with the level that lies below the common levels (see also Fig. 3-1). T he colon following the sem icolon m ust be omitted in this case.

Example:

CALL IBWRT

CALL IBWRT(analyzer%, "SENSe:FREQuency:STARt 1E6;STOP 1E9")

However, a new command line always begins with the complete path. Example: CALL IBWRT(analyzer%, "SENSe:FREQuency:STARt

(analyzer%, "SENSe:FREQuency:STARt 1E6;:SENSe:FREQuency:STOP 1E9")

This comm and line is represented in its fu ll length and contains two comm ands separated from each other by the semicolon. Both commands are part of the SENSe command system, subsystem FREQuency, i.e. they have two common levels. When abbreviating the com mand line, the second command begins with the level below SENSe:FREQuency. The colon after the semicolon is omitted.

The abbreviated form of the command line reads as follows:

1E6")

CALL IBWRT(analyzer%, "SENSe:FREQuency:STOP 1E9")

3.5.4 Responses to Queries

A query is defined for each setting com mand unless explicitly specified otherwise. It is f or med by adding a question mark to the associated setting c ommand. According to SCPI, the res ponses to queries are partly subject to stricter rules than in standard IEEE 488.2.

1 The requested parameter is transmitted without header.

Example: DISPlay:FORMat:TRAce:Y:SPACing? Response: LIN

2. Maximum values, minim um values and all further quantities , which are requested via a special text parameter are returned as numerical values. Example: SENSe:FREQuency:STOP? MAX Response: 4E9

3. Numerical values are output without a unit. Physical quantities are referred to the basic units or to the units set using the Unit command. Example: SENSe:FREQuency:CENTer? Response: 1E6 for 1 MHz

4. Truth values <Boolean values> are returned as 0 (for OFF) and 1 (for ON). Example: SENSe:BANDwidth:AUTO? Response: 1 for ON

5. Text (character data) is returned in a short form (see also Section 3.5.5). Example: SYSTem:COMMunicate:SERial:CONTrol:RTS?

3.5.5 Parameters

Most commands require a parameter to be specified. The parameters must be separated from the header by a "white space". Permissible parameters are numerical values, Boolean parameters, text, character strings and block data. The type of parameter required for the r espective command and the permissible range of values are specified in the command description (see Section 3.6).

Numerical values Numerical values can be entered in any form, i.e. with sign, decimal point and

exponent. Values exceeding the resolution of the instrument are rounded up or down. The allowed range is –9.9E37 to +9.9E37. The exponent is introduced by an "E" or "e". Entry of the exponent alone is not permissible. In the case of physical quantities, the unit can be entered. Permissible unit prefixes are G (giga), MA (mega), MOHM and MHZ are also permissible) , K (kilo) , M (milli) , U (micro) and N (nano). It the unit is missing, the basic unit is used.

Example:

SENSe:FREQuency:STOP 1.5GHz = SENSe:FREQuency:STOP 1.5E9

Special numerical The texts MINimum, MAXimum, DEFault, UP and DOWN are interpreted as

valuesspecial numerical values. In the case of a query, the numerical value is provided.

Example: Setting command: SENSe:FREQuency:STOP MAXimum

Query: SENSe:FREQuency:STOP? Response: 3.5E9

MIN/MAX MINimum and MAXimum denote the minimum and maximum value.

DEF DEFault denotes a preset value which has been stored in the EPROM. T his

value conforms to the default setting, as it is called by the *RST command

UP/DOWN UP, DOWN increas es or reduces the numerical value by one step. The step

width can be specified via an allocated step com mand (see annex C, List of Commands) for each parameter which can be set via UP, DOWN.

INF/NINF INFinity, Negative INFinity (NINF) Negative INFinity (NINF) represent the

numerical values -9.9E37 or 9.9E37, respectively. INF and NINF are only sent as device reponses.

NAN Not A Number (NAN) represents the value 9.91E37. NAN is only sent as

device response. This value is not defined. Possible c auses are the division of zero by zero, the subtraction of infinite from infinite and the repres entation of missing values.

Boolean Parameters Boolean parameters represent two states. The ON state (logically true) is

represented by ON or a numerical value unequal to 0. T he OF F state (logically untrue) is represented by OFF or the numerical value 0. 0 or 1 is provided in a query.

Example: Setting command: DISPlay:WINDow:TRACe:STATe ON Query: DISPlay:WINDow:TRACe:STATe? Response: 1

1043.0009.50 3.12 E-15

ZVx Structure and Syntax of the Device Messages

Text Text parameters observe the syntactic rules for key words, i.e. they can be

entered using a short or long form. Like any parameter, they have to be separated from the header by a white space. In the case of a query, the short form of the text is provided.

Example: Setting command: INPut:COUPling GROund

Query: INPut:COUPling? Response GRO

Strings Strings must always be entered in quotation marks (’ or ").

Example: SYSTem:LANGuage "SCPI"

SYSTem:LANGuage ’SCPI’

Block data Block data are a transmission format which is suitable for the transmission of

large amounts of data. A command using a block data parameter has the following structure:

Example: HEADer:HEADer #45168xxxxxxxx ASCII character # introduces the data block. The next number indicates how

many of the following digits describe the length of the data block. In the example the 4 following digits indicate the length to be 5168 bytes. The data bytes follow. During the transmission of these data bytes all End or other control signs are ignored until all bytes are transmitted. Data elements com prising m ore than one byte are transmitted with the byte being the first which was specified by SCPI command "FORMat:BORDer".

3.5.6 Overview of Syntax Elements

The following survey offers an overview of the syntax elements.

The colon separates the key words of a command.

In a com mand line the separating semicolon marks the u ppermost command l e ve l .

The semicolon separates two commands of a command line.

;

It does not alter the path.

The comma separates several parameters of a command. The question mark forms a query.

The asterisk marks a common command.

Double or single quotation marks introduce a string and terminate it.

’

The double dagger # introduces block data.

A "white space" (ASCII-Code 0 to 9, 11 to 32 decimal, e.g. blank) separates header and parameter.

3.6 Description of Commands

3.6.1 Notation

In the following sections, all comm ands im plem ented in the instrum ent are first listed in tables and then described in detail, separated according to the com mand system . The notation corres ponds to the one of the SCPI standards to a large extent. The SCPI conformity information can be taken from the individual description of the commands.

Table of Commands

Command: In the command column, the table provides an overview of the commands

and their hierarchical arrangement (see indentations).

Parameter: In the parameter column the requested param eters are indicated together

with their specified range.

Unit: The unit column indicates the basic unit of the physical parameters.

Remark: In the remark column an indication is made on:

– whether the command does not have a query form, – whether the command has only one query form, – whether this command is implemented only with a certain option of the instrument.

Indentations The different levels of the SCPI com m and hierar chy are repr esented in the

table by means of indentations to the right. The lower the level is, the farther the indentation to the right is. Please observe that the complete notation of the command always includes the higher levels as well.

Example: SENSe:FREQuency:CENTer is represented in the table as

follows:

SENSe first level

:FREQuency second level

:CENTer third level

In the individual description, the hierarchy is represented in the corresponding way. That is to say, for each command all k ey words above up to the left-hand margin must be considered. An example for each command is written out at the end of the individual description.

Upper/lower case notation Upper / lower case letters serve to mark the long or short form of the key

words of a command in the description (see Sec tion 3.5.2). T he instr um ent itself does not distinguish between upper and lower case letters.

1043.0009.50 3.14 E-15

ZVx Description of Commands

Special characters | A selection of key words with an identical effect exists for several

commands. These key words are indicated in the same line, they are separated by a vertical stroke. Only one of these key words has to be indicated in the header of the command. The effect of the command is independent of which of the key words is indicated.

Example:SENSe:FREQuency:CW|:FIXed

The two following commands of identical meaning can be formed. They set the frequenc y of the constantly frequent signal to 1 kHz:

SENSe:FREQuency:CW 1E3 = SENSe:FREQuency:FIXed 1E3 A vertical stroke in indicating the param eters mar ks alter native possibilities

in the sense of "or". The effect of the com mand is different, depending on which parameter is entered.

Example:Selection of the parameters for the command

CALC:FORM MAGN | PHAS

MAGN: Level values will be indicated PHAS: Phase values will be indicated

[ ] Key words in square brackets can be omitted when com posing the header

(cf. Section 3.5.2, Optional Keywords). The f ull command length m ust be accepted by the instrument for reasons of compatibility with the SCPI standards. Parameters in square brackets can optionally be incorporated in the command or omitted as well.

{ } Parameters in braces can optionally be incorporated in the command either

not at all, once or several times.

Description of parameters Due to the standardization, the parameter section of SCPI commands

consists always of the same syntactical elements. SCPI has specified a series of definitions therefore, which are used in the tables of commands. In the tables, these established definitions are indic ated in angled brack ets (<...>) and will be briefly explained in the following (see also Sec tion 3.5.5, "Parameters").

<Boolean> This indication refers to parameters which can adopt two states, "on" and

"off". The "off" state m ay either be indicated by the keyword OFF or by the numeric value 0, the "on" state is indicated by ON or any numeric value other than zero. Parameter queries are always returned the numer ic value 0 or 1.

Description of Commands ZVx

<numeric_value>

<num> These indications mark parameters which may be entered as numeric

values or be set using specific keywords (character data). The keywords given below are permitted: MINimum This keyword sets the parameter to the smallest possible

value. MAXimum This keyword sets the parameter to the largest possible value. DEFault This keyword is used to reset the parameter to its default

value. UP This keyword increments the parameter value. DOWN This keyword decrements the parameter. The numeric values associated to MAXimum/MINimum/DEFault can be

queried by adding the corresponding keywords to the command. They must be entered following the quotation mark.

Example:SENSe:FREQuency:CENTer? MAXimum returns the maximum possible numeric value of the center frequency as

result.

This keyword is provided for commands the parameters of which consis t of a binary data block.

POWER ON STATUS CLEAR determines whether the contents of the ENABle registers is maintained or reset in switching on.

*PSC = 0 causes the contents of the status registers to be m aintained. Thus a service request

can be triggered in switching on in the case of a cor responding configuration of st atus registers ESE and SRE.

*PSC Query *PSC? reads out the contents of the power-on-status-clear flag. The response can be 0 or 1.

*RST

RESET sets the instrument to a defined default status. The command essentially corresponds to

pressing the [PRESET] key. The default setting is indicated in the description of the commands.

*SRE 0 to 255

SERVICE REQUEST ENABLE sets the service request enable register to the value indic ated. Bit 6

(MSS mask bit) remains 0. This com mand determines under which conditions a service request is triggered. Query *SRE? reads the contents of the service request enable r egis ter in dec imal form. Bit 6 is always 0.

0 resets the registers.

*STB?

READ STA TUS BYTE QUERY reads out the contents of the status byte in decimal form.

*TRG

TRIGGER triggers all actions waiting for a trigger event (cf. Section "TRIGger subsystem", as well).

*TST?

SELF TEST QU ERY triggers all self tests of the instrument and outputs an error c ode in decimal

form.

*WAI

WAIT-to-CONTINUE only permits the servicing of the subsequent commands after all preceding

commands have been executed and all signals have settled (cf. Section 3.7 and "*OPC" as well).

Syntax: Example:

FORMat[:DATA] ASCII | REAL [,<numeric_value>]

"FORM REAL,32" "FORM REAL,64" "FORM ASC "

Characteristics:

*RST value: SCPI:

ASCII conforming

Either the ASCII or REAL data format can be selected. ASCII data are transmitted in plain text with commas used as separators. REAL data are transmitted as 32- or 64-bit IEEE 754 floating-point numbers using definite length blocks.

Results are transmitted as S-parameters or ratios of wave quantities in real and imaginary part representation. For a sweep with 401 test points, therefore, 802 values are transmitted separated by commas.

If the format ”FORM REAL, 32” is selected for the above example, the data stream from the analyzer to the controller is as follows:

#432085334.....

||| || |||..|From here follow the data bytes of the data block, here 5334 ||Number of bytes of data block stated in ASCII plain text, here 3208 |ASCII byte stating the length of the subsequent length counter, here 4 Head marker of binary data stream

For this example, the number of transmitted data bytes is as follows:

Number = number of test points * bytes/value * 2 3208 = 401 * 4 * 2

The factor of two takes into account that the result is represented as a complex variable.
