SCPI commands
SCPI commands to configure and control the buffer are listed in Table 13.
NOTE Table 13 does not provide a complete listing of buffer commands. Documentation for
all buffer commands (including the ones for buffer statistics) can be found in Section
9 of the 2400 Series SourceMeter User’s Manual.
Programming example
Table 14 shows a typical command sequence to store and recall readings from the buffer.
