Hi,
When you want parse an integer array of 25 integers from Motorola format to
your platform specific format you can use following line:
ViInt32 data[25]; // Data in Motorola format
ViInt32 newData[25]; // correct data for your platform
Scan (data, "%25d[b4o3210]>%25d[b4]", newData);
If you need convert data from Intel format you can use modifier o0123
instead of o3210.
You can use VISA functions too with format string 'b'
For example: instrument returns 25 integers in 100 bytes + 5 bytes header.
(#3100........ data are returned in IEEE 488.2 arbitrary block )
ViInt32 data[25];
ViInt32 dataCout = 25; // You want read 25 integers
viPrintf(io, "GET:DATA?");
ViScanf(io, "%#bl", &dataCount, data);
dataCount is input/output parameter
If you will
format Real32 data you can use format string "%#bz", for more
details see NI-VISA programmer reference manual function viScanf().
