:TRIGger:BLOCk:BUFFer:CLEar
This command defines a trigger model block that clears the reading buffer.
Type Affected by Where saved Default value
Instrument reset
Usage
:TRIGger:BLOCk:BUFFer:CLEar <blockNumber>
:TRIGger:BLOCk:BUFFer:CLEar <blockNumber>, <bufferName>
The sequence of the block in the trigger model
The name of the buffer, which must be an existing buffer; if no buffer is
defined, defbuffer1 is used (defbuffer1)
Details
When the trigger model reaches the buffer clear trigger block, the instrument empties the buffer that is specified
by the command. The specified buffer can be the default buffer or a buffer that you defined. Assigning the name
in the buffer clear trigger block does not create a buffer; it only references an existing buffer.
Readings that are made after the buffer is cleared are added to the beginning of the buffer.
You must create the buffer before you define this block.
If no buffer name is assigned, the instrument clears default buffer 1.
Example
TRIG:BLOC:BUFF:CLE 1
TRIG:BLOC:MEAS 2
TRIG:BLOC:BRAN:COUN 3, 5, 2
TRIG:BLOC:DEL:CONS 4, 1
TRIG:BLOC:BRAN:COUN 5, 3, 2
Reset trigger model settings.
Clear defbuffer1 at the beginning of the
trigger model.
Loop and take 5 readings.
Delay a second.
Loop three more times back to block 2.
At end of execution, 15 readings are stored in
defbuffer1.
