Sets the binary numeric I/O data byte order as either Most Significant Byte (MSB) or Least Significant Byte (LSB) byte order of binary numeric I/O data where:
• NORMal = The MSB is first
• SWAPped = The LSB is first.
Returns the Most Significant Byte (MSB)/Least Significant Byte (LSB) byte order of binary numeric I/O data.
