This time the format of the number (such as, whether or not exponential
notation is used) is dependant upon your host language. In Basic, the output
will look like: 1.E-5
Definite-Length Block Response Data
Definite-length block response data, also refered to as block data, allows any
type of device-dependent data to be transmitted over the system interface as
a series of data bytes. Definite-length blick data is particularly useful for
sending large quantities of data, or, for sending 8-bit extended ASCII codes.
The syntax is a pound sign ( # ) followed by a non-zero digit representing the
number of digits in the decimal integer. Following the non zero digit is the
decimal integer that states the number of 8-bit data bytes to follow. This
number is followed by the actual data.
Indefinite-length block data is not supported on the 1660-series logic
analyzers.
For example, for transmitting 80 bytes of data, the syntax would be:

Definite-length Block Response Data
The "8" states the number of digits that follow, and "00000080" states the
number of bytes to be transmitted, which is 80.
