8 Bytes Data Elements
To use the 8 bytes binary data format, enter the FMT13 or FMT14 command.
The data (Data, Source_data, Sampling_no, Data_search, Data_sense, Osc_level,
and Dc_bias) will be sent as the binary value shown in Figure 1-3. The format of the
time data (Time) will be different from the others.
