HMC8012: Measurement of data stream

Question

Does the HMC8012 support to send the measurement data automatically as some kind of a stream?

Answer

The command "DATA:STREAM {0|1} will start or stop a data stream with all ADC samples (up to 200Sa/s) on the first function of the device.
This command is not SCPI-compliant and is not described in the manual of the HMC8012.
DATA:STREAM 1 will switch the stream on, while DATA:STREAM 0 stops it.

Example with first function set to DCV / 40V range:
