Usage
:TRACe:MAKE "<bufferName>", <bufferSize>
:TRACe:MAKE "<bufferName>", <bufferSize>, <bufferStyle>
<bufferName>
A user-supplied string that indicates the name of the buffer
<bufferSize>
A number that indicates the maximum number of readings that can be stored in
<bufferName>
; minimum is 10
<bufferStyle>
The type of reading buffer to create:
•
Store readings with reduced accuracy (6.5 digits) with no formatting
information, 1 μs accurate timestamp, maximum 27,500,000 readings:
COMPact
•
Store readings with full accuracy with formatting, maximum 6,875,000
readings:
STANdard
(default)
•
Store the same information as standard, plus additional information:
FULL
•
Store external reading buffer data:
WRITable
•
Store external reading buffer data with two reading values:
FULLWRITable
Details
You cannot assign user-defined reading buffers the name
defbuffer1
or
defbuffer2
.
If you create a reading buffer that has the same name as an existing user-defined buffer, an event
message 1115, "Parameter error: TRACe:MAKE cannot take an existing reading buffer name" is
generated.
When you create a reading buffer, it becomes the active buffer. If you create two reading buffers, the
last one you create becomes the active buffer.
The default fill mode of a user-defined buffer is once. You can change it to continuous.
