Usage
For buffers with the writable buffer style:
:TRACe:WRITe:READing "<bufferName>", <readingValue>
:TRACe:WRITe:READing "<bufferName>", <readingValue>, <seconds>
:TRACe:WRITe:READing "<bufferName>", <readingValue>, <seconds>, <fractionalSeconds>
:TRACe:WRITe:READing "<bufferName>", <readingValue>, <seconds>,
<fractionalSeconds>, <status>
For buffers with the full writable buffer style:
:TRACe:WRITe:READing "<bufferName>", <readingValue>, <extraValue>
:TRACe:WRITe:READing "<bufferName>", <readingValue>, <extraValue>, <seconds>
:TRACe:WRITe:READing "<bufferName>", <readingValue>, <extraValue>, <seconds>,
<fractionalSeconds>
:TRACe:WRITe:READing "<bufferName>", <readingValue>, <extraValue>, <seconds>,
<fractionalSeconds>, <status>
<bufferName>
A user-supplied string that indicates the name of the buffer
<readingValue>
The first value that is recorded in the buffer index
<extraValue>
A second value that is recorded in the buffer index (only valid for buffer style
FULLWRITable
)
<seconds>
An integer that represents the seconds
<fractionalSeconds>
The portion of time that represents the fractional seconds
<status>
The reading that is the start of each group of readings:
buffer.STAT_START_GROUP
; can be used to graph a family of curves
Details
This command writes the data you specify into a reading buffer. The reading buffer must be set to the
writable or full writable style, which is set when you make the buffer.
Data must be added in chronological order. If the time is not specified for a reading, it is set to one
integer second after the last reading. As you write the data, the front-panel Home screen updates and
displays the reading you entered.
