The

function does not turn the output off or change any settings.
If this function is used to abort a sweep, when it is executed, the SMU exits its trigger model
immediately and returns to the trigger model's idle state.

The reading buffer to process
Details
This function returns a table with statistical data about the data that is placed in the buffer.
The SMU automatically updates reading buffer statistics as data is added to the reading buffer. When
the reading buffer is configured to wrap around and overwrite older data with new data, the buffer
statistics include the data that was overwritten.
The table returned from this function is a snapshot. Although the SMU continues to update the
statistics, the table returned is not updated. To get fresh statistics, call this function again.
