What is format of DAXIQ data?

When I activate DAXIQ data on a slice, I understand per the wiki that the DAXIQ data is sent via UDP port 4991. However, I have not been able to find a low-level description of the format of the IQ data. Specific questions:
- how many IQ samples are in each buffer sent?
- what format are the IQ samples?  I & Q values, each 32-bit floating point (such as IEEE 754 single precision, or what?
- what is the endianess of the data? Do I have to rotate the bits or something to work with it in fftw?
Sorry if this is answered elsewhere, I have not found it so far.

    Geoff:  Thanks, it does help!  Quick question: have you run across an already coded data structure (C, C++ or C#) for the Signal Data Packet?  I can code it, but this could save some time...

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
