Details
The filename must specify the full path (including /usb1/). If included, the file extension must be set
to .csv. If no file extension is specified, .csv is added.
For options that save more than one item of time information, each item is comma-delimited. For
example, the default format is date, time, and fractional seconds for each reading.
You use dmm.makebuffer() to create a buffer.
Examples of valid destination file names:
dmm.savebuffer("bufferVar", "/usb1/myData")
dmm.savebuffer("bufferVar", "/usb1/myData.csv")
Invalid destination filename examples:
dmm.savebuffer("bufferVar", "/usb1/myData.")
— The period is not followed by the csv extension.
dmm.savebuffer("bufferVar", "/usb1/myData.txt")
— The only allowed extension is .csv. If .csv is not assigned, it is automatically added.
dmm.savebuffer("bufferVar", "/usb1/myData.txt.csv")
— Two periods in the file name (myData_txt.csv would be correct).
An error is generated if:
• The reading buffer does not exist or is not a DMM buffer.
• The destination filename is not specified correctly.
• The file extension is not .csv (or blank).
Example
dmm.savebuffer("bufferVar", "/usb1/myData.csv")
Saves readings from a DMM buffer named
bufferVar with default time information to a
file named myData.csv on the USB flash
drive.
dmm.savebuffer("bufferVar",
"/usb1/myDataRel.csv",
dmm.buffer.SAVE_RELATIVE_TIME)
Saves readings from bufferVar with
relative timestamps to a file named
myDataRel.csv on the USB flash drive.
