smuX.makebuffer()

This function creates a reading buffer.

Type TSP-Link accessible

Affected by Where saved Default value

Function

Yes

Usage

bufferVar = smuX.makebuffer(bufferSize)

bufferVar

The created reading buffer

Source-measure unit (SMU) channel (for example,

smua.makebuffer()

applies

to SMU channel A)

bufferSize

Maximum number of readings that can be stored

Details

Reading buffers can be created and allocated dynamically using this function. Use bufferSize to designate the

number of readings the buffer can store.

Dynamically allocated reading buffers can be used interchangeably with the smuX.nvbufferY buffers.

A reading buffer can be deleted by setting all references to the reading buffer equal to nil, then running the

garbage collector (see the collectgarbage() function in Standard libraries (on page 6-26

)).

Example

mybuffer2 = smua.makebuffer(200)

Creates a 200 element reading buffer (mybuffer2)for

SMU channel A.
