Example
format.data = format.ASCII
format.asciiprecision = 6
printbuffer(1, rb1.n, rb1)
This assumes that
rb1
is a valid reading buffer in the run-time environment. The use of
rb1.n
(
bufferVar .n
) indicates that the instrument should output all readings in the reading buffer. In this example,
rb1.n
equals 10.
Example of output data (
rb1.readings
):
4.07205e-05, 4.10966e-05, 4.06867e-05, 4.08865e-05, 4.08220e-05, 4.08988e-05,
4.08250e-05, 4.09741e-05, 4.07174e-05, 4.07881e-05

Details
There are multiple ways to use this function, depending on how many numbers are to be printed.
This function prints the given numbers using the data format specified by
format.data
and
format.asciiprecision
.
Example
format.asciiprecision = 10
x = 2.54
printnumber(x)
format.asciiprecision = 3
printnumber(x, 2.54321, 3.1)
Configure the ASCII precision to 10 and set
x
to 2.54.
Read the value of
x
based on these settings.
Change the ASCII precision to 3.
View how the change affects the output of
x
and some
numbers.
Output:
2.54000
2.54e+00, 2.54e+00, 3.10e+00
