By default, data from the Analyzer is sent in text form. To increase the speed of the data exchange, the user has the option to enable binary data transfer. The transfer of binary data is enabled by the FORMat:DATA command and is effective for commands that transfer large data amounts. A list of such commands is given in the description of the FORMat:DATA command.
The HiSLIP protocol supports VISA formatted input of the binary data, since it provides the protocol defined end of message (not symbolic).
The Socket protocol does not always support VISA formatted input of the binary data (depends on VISA realization), since it uses the <newline> byte as the end of the message, which can occur in binary data.
