Details
This read-only buffer recall attribute is like an array (a Lua table) of the status values for all the readings in the
buffer. The status values are floating-point numbers that encode the status value; see the following table for
values.
For dedicated reading buffers, all buffer attributes are saved to nonvolatile memory only when the reading buffer
is saved to nonvolatile memory.
Buffer status bits
Bit Name Hex value Description
Over temperature condition
Measure range was autoranged
Source range was autoranged
4-wire (remote) sense mode enabled
Relative offset applied to reading
Source function was limited because
the complementary function would be
over the compliance limit
