====== Re: Data type change: int8 -> float16 ======

The TeleDyne LeCroy Control Class (https://github.com/BongHwi/TeleDyneLeCroyControl) was handling the scope data with **8bit type**.

This issue has been solved by adding this line: `self.write("CFMT DEF9,WORD,BIN")` for configuring the scope.

The attached plot shows the two different waveform shapes (RED: new 12bit, BLUE: old, 8bit)

Details:

The issue has been found by Satoshi, observing the raw wave form with unnatural (descreted signal shape)

-> Disussed for the proper shape of the signal 
-> The current oscilloscope was 12bit type (HD), so it should handle 12bit data (4096 points) 
-> The current scope class was based on the 8bit data (int8)
-> Forcing 16 bit data type (`WORD` instead of `BYTE`) soved the issue.
