:TRACe:WRITe:READing "<bufferName>", <readingValue>, <seconds>,
<fractionalSeconds>, <status>
For buffers with the full writable buffer style:
:TRACe:WRITe:READing "<bufferName>", <readingValue>, <extraValue>
:TRACe:WRITe:READing "<bufferName>", <readingValue>, <extraValue>, <seconds>
:TRACe:WRITe:READing "<bufferName>", <readingValue>, <extraValue>, <seconds>,
<fractionalSeconds>
:TRACe:WRITe:READing "<bufferName>", <readingValue>, <extraValue>, <seconds>,
<fractionalSeconds>, <status>
A user-supplied string that indicates the name of the buffer
The first value that is recorded in the buffer index
A second value that is recorded in the buffer index (only valid for buffer style

Details
This command writes the data you specify into a reading buffer. The reading buffer must be set to the
writable or full writable style, which is set when you make the buffer.
Data must be added in chronological order. If the time is not specified for a reading, it is set to one
integer second after the last reading. As you write the data, the front-panel Home screen updates and
displays the reading you entered.
