bufferVar.sourceoutputstates
This attribute indicates the state of the source output for readings that are stored in a specified buffer.

Usage
state
=
bufferVar
.sourceoutputstates[
N
]
state
The output state ( "Off" or "On" ) when reading N of the specified buffer was
acquired
bufferVar
The reading buffer; can be a dynamically allocated buffer (user-defined), or a
dedicated reading buffer (such as smua.nvbuffer1 )
N
The reading number ( 1 to bufferVar .n )
Details
The sourceoutputstates buffer recall attribute is similar to an array (a Lua table) of strings. This
array indicates the state of the source output (
"Off"
or
"On"
) at the time of the measurement.
For dedicated reading buffers, all buffer attributes are saved to nonvolatile memory only when the
reading buffer is saved to nonvolatile memory.
