printbuffer()
This function prints data from tables or reading buffer subtables.
Type TSP-Link accessible Affected by Where saved Default value
Function No
Usage
printbuffer( startIndex , endIndex , bufferVar)
printbuffer( startIndex , endIndex , bufferVar , bufferVar2 )
printbuffer( startIndex , endIndex , bufferVar , ..., bufferVarN )
startIndex Beginning index of the buffer to print; this must be more than one
and less than
endIndex
endIndex Ending index of the buffer to print; this must be more than
startIndex
and less than the index of the last entry in the
tables
bufferVar Name of first table or reading buffer subtable to print; may be a
default buffer (
defbuffer1
or
defbuffer2
) or a user-defined
buffer
bufferVar2 Second table or reading buffer subtable to print; may be a default
buffer (
defbuffer1
or
defbuffer2
) or a user-defined buffer
bufferVarN The last table or reading buffer subtable to print; may be a default
buffer (
defbuffer1
or
defbuffer2
) or a user-defined buffer
... One or more tables or reading buffer subtables separated with
commas
Details
If
startIndex
is set to less than 1 or if
endIndex
is more than the size of the index, 9.37
is returned for each value outside the allowed index and an event is generated.
If overlapped commands use the specified reading buffers and the commands are not complete (at
least to the specified index), this function outputs data as it becomes available.
When there are outstanding overlapped commands to acquire data,
n
refers to the index that the last
entry in the table has after all the readings have completed.
If you pass a reading buffer instead of a reading buffer subtable, the default subtable for that reading
buffer is used.
This command generates a single response message that contains all data.
The
format.data
attribute controls the format of the response message.
You can use the
bufferVar
attributes that are listed in the following table with the print buffer
command. For example, if
testData
is the buffer, you can use
testData.dates
attribute to print
the date of each reading in the
testData
buffer.
You can use
bufferVar .n
to retrieve the number of readings in the specified reading buffer.
