Details
This command initiates digitize measurements using the present function setting, stores the readings
in a reading buffer, and returns the last reading.
The
dmm.digitize.count
attribute determines how many measurements are performed.
When you use a reading buffer with a command or action that makes multiple readings, all readings
are available in the reading buffer. However, only the last reading is returned as a reading with the
command.
If you define a specific reading buffer, the reading buffer must exist before you make the
measurement.
Example
print(dmm.digitize.readwithtime())
Print the last digitize measurement and time information in
UTC format, which will look similar to:
-0.0003882925875
1415795836
0.946164546
