statusInformation
The status value when reading
N
of the specified buffer was acquired;
Source status values are:
•
Complementary function output state:
buffer.STAT_OUTPUT
•
Complementary function remote sense:
buffer.STAT_SENSE
•
Complementary function power source limit:
buffer.STAT_LIMIT
•
Overtemperature condition:
buffer.STAT_OVER_TEMP
bufferVar
The name of the reading buffer, which may be a default buffer (
defbuffer1
or
defbuffer2
) or a user-defined buffer
N
The reading number
N
; can be any value between 1 and the number of readings in
the buffer; use the
bufferVar.
n
command to determine the number of readings in
the buffer
Details
This buffer recall attribute holds an array (a Lua table) of the status values for all the readings in the buffer. The
status values are floating-point numbers that encode the status value; see the following tables for values.
