Example
reset()
testData = dmm.makebuffer(1000)
testData.collectchannels = 1
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.statuses[1])
printbuffer(1, 6, testData.statuses)
This example creates a reading buffer named
testData, configures the buffer to collect
channel data, sets and saves the DMM
configuration, creates a scan list, and then
runs the scan.
The print() command then outputs the
status value of the first measurement channel
in the reading buffer.
Output:
0.000000000e+00
The printbuffer() command then outputs
the status values for measurements 1 to 6 in
the reading buffer.
Output:
0.000000000e+00, 0.000000000e+00,
0.000000000e+00, 0.000000000e+00,
0.000000000e+00, 0.000000000e+00

Reading buffers (on page 6-7, on page 6-1)
bufferVar.times
When enabled by the bufferVar.collecttimestamps attribute, this attribute contains the time of the
readings (in hours, minutes, and seconds format) in the reading buffer.

Usage
readingtime = bufferVar.times[N]
readingtime
The time of the reading in hours, minutes, and seconds
bufferVar
The reading buffer
N
The reading number N; can be any value from 1 to the number of readings in the
buffer; use the bufferVar.n command to determine the number of readings in the
buffer
Details
The times information from a reading buffer is only available if the
bufferVar.collecttimestamps attribute is set to 1 (default setting). If it is set to 0, you cannot
access any time information from a reading buffer. You may change the collect timestamps setting
when the buffer is empty (bufferVar.clear()).
This read-only attribute is an array (a Lua table) of strings indicating the time of the reading formatted
in hours, minutes, and seconds.
These seconds are absolute and in UTC format.
