Usage
maximumCapacity = dmm.buffer.maxcapacity
maximumCapacity
A number that represents the overall maximum capacity for the reading buffers
Details
Determines the maximum capacity of the instrument for reading buffer storage. This value represents
the total system reading buffer storage size. A single reading buffer may be created with this as its
size, or several reading buffers may be created in the instrument that are smaller in size. However,
the sum total of all reading buffer sizes in the instrument cannot exceed this maximum.
Example
MaxBuffCap = dmm.buffer.maxcapacity
print(MaxBuffCap)
Reads the maximum reading buffer capacity for the
instrument, which is 650,000 readings.
Output:
6.500000000e+05
