Sets the number of bytes per data point in the waveform transferred using the
CURVe command.

<Space> <NR1>
<NR1> = 1 specifies that there is 1 byte (8 bits) per point. This format is
useful when the acquisition mode is set to SAMple, ENVelope, or PEAKdeĆ
tect. If used for AVErage, the low order byte is not transmitted.
<NR1> = 2 specifies that there are 2 bytes (16 bits) per point. This format is
useful for AVErage waveforms. If used for ENVelope, PEAKdetect, or SAMple,
the least significant byte is always zero.
If DATA:WIDTH is set to 2, the block is twice as long as when it is 1. The
length or number of bytes in the block can be calculated by ((DATA:STOP -
DATA:START)+1)*DATA:WIDTH. If DATA:START and/or DATA:STOP extend
beyond the limits of the waveform the number of bytes will be less.
DATA:WIDth 1
sets the data width to 1 byte per data point for CURVe data.
