## Command Syntax

    :PROTocol:PROTocolN:TYPE  {G8B10B | GRAW}

Where N identifies one of four possible protocol decodes {1:4}. For example, `PROTocol3`.

## Query Syntax

    :PROTocol:PROTocolN:TYPE?

## Description

Selects the type of decode to apply:

- `G8B10B` — Generic 8b/10b. This decodes data that has been encoded using 8b/10b block coding. Block coding translates a block of data into a longer block of data that has more transitions between 1's and 0's in order to achieve higher transmission speeds.

  See `:PROTocol:PROTocol:SFORmat`.

- `GRAW` — Generic Raw. This is a simple bits into words decode where you can specify the number of bits in a word up to 64 bits.

  See `:PROTocol:PROTocol:WSIZe`.
