Usage
readings = bufferVar.formattedreadings[N]
bufferVar
The reading buffer
N
The reading number (1 to bufferVar.n)
Details
This read-only attribute is an array that contains the stored readings. The readings are shown as
numbers with prefixes before the units symbol.
Use this attribute to access the reading elements N as they appear on the front panel.
Example
reset()
testData = dmm.makebuffer(1000)
dmm.nplc = 0.5
dmm.range = 0
dmm.configure.set("Dcv_100mV")
dmm.setconfig("slot2", "Dcv_100mV")
scan.create("2035:2040")
scan.execute(testData)
print(testData.formattedreadings[1])
printbuffer(1, 6, testData.formattedreadings)
This example creates a reading buffer
named testData, sets and saves the DMM
configuration, creates a scan list, and then
runs the scan.
The print() command outputs the first
reading, formatted as it appears on the
front-panel display.
Output:
+000.0006e-3
The printbuffer() command then
outputs readings 1 to 6 in the reading buffer
as they appear on the front-panel display.
Output:
6.000000000e-07, 7.000000000e-07,
5.000000000e-07, 7.000000000e-07,
7.000000000e-07, 6.000000000e-07
