Use the following command to get
statsVar
; a table with the following entries in it: n, min, max,
mean, and stddev.
statsVar = buffer.getstats( bufferVar )
Use the following commands to print these entries:
print( statsVar .n)
print( statsVar .mean)
print( statsVar .stddev)
print( statsVar .min.reading)
print( statsVar .min.timestamp)
print( statsVar .min.seconds)
print( statsVar .min.fractionalseconds)
print( statsVar .max.reading)
print( statsVar .max.seconds)
print( statsVar .max.fractionalseconds)
print( statsVar .max.timestamp)
The commands that return minimum and maximum values each also return tables. These tables
contain the following values:
Attribute Description
reading
The reading value
timestamp
The
min.timestamp
is the timestamp of the minimum data point in the
buffer and the
max.timestamp
is the timestamp of the maximum data
point in the buffer
Example

print(defBufStats)
Assign the name
