Details
This attribute outputs an array (a Lua table) of strings that contain the stored readings. The readings
are shown as they would appear on the front-panel display.
Example
reset()
testData = buffer.make(50)
trigger.model.load("SimpleLoop", 3, 0, testData)
trigger.model.initiate()
waitcomplete()
print(testData.formattedreadings[1])
printbuffer(1, testData.n,
testData.formattedreadings)
Create a reading buffer named
testData, configure the
instrument to make three
measurements, and store the
readings in the buffer.
Print the first reading formatted as
it appears on the front-panel
display.
Example output:
+00.0028 nA
Print all readings in the reading
buffer as they appear on the
front-panel display.
Example output:
+00.0028 nA, +00.0039 nA,
