The
STATus
buffer element returns status values for the readings in the buffer. The status values are
floating-point numbers that encode the status value. Refer to the following table for values.
Buffer status bits for sense measurements
Bit (hex) Name
Decimal Description
0x0001 STAT_QUESTIONABLE
1
Measure status questionable
0x0006 STAT_ORIGIN
6
A/D converter from which reading originated; for the
Model 2461, this will always be 0 (main) or 2 (digitizer)
0x0008 STAT_TERMINAL
8
Measure terminal, front is 1, rear is 0
0x0010 STAT_LIMIT2_LOW
16
Measure status limit 2 low
0x0020 STAT_LIMIT2_HIGH
32
Measure status limit 2 high
0x0040 STAT_LIMIT1_LOW
64
Measure status limit 1 low
0x0080 STAT_LIMIT1_HIGH
128
Measure status limit 1 high
0x0100 STAT_START_GROUP
256
First reading in a group
Example
*RST
:TRACe:MAKE "voltDigBuffer", 10000
:DIG:FUNC "VOLTage"
:SENS:DIG:COUN 100
:READ:DIG? "voltDigBuffer", FORM, DATE, READ
:TRAC:DATA? 95,100, "voltDigBuffer"
Create a buffer named
voltDigBuffer
. Make a digitize measurement, store it in the buffer
voltDigBuffer
, and return the formatted readings, date, and reading buffer elements for the last reading
stored in
voltDigBuffer
, then return readings 95 to 100.
Example output is:
+04.963 V,09/26/2014,4.00
4.00,4.00,4.00,4.00,4.00,4.00
