Description

Indicates the bit width of the binary data in the acquired waveform, which is useful for determining which Binary Fetch function to use. Compare to NISCOPE_ATTR_RESOLUTION.

To configure the device to store samples with a lower resolution than the native resolution, set this attribute to the desired binary width. This process can be useful for streaming at faster speeds at the cost of resolution. The least significant bits are lost with this configuration.
