Deleting buffers
If you want to save the readings in a buffer before deleting the buffer, save the buffer to a USB flash
drive. See
Viewing and saving buffer content
(on page 6-18) for details.
You cannot delete the default buffers
defbuffer1
or
defbuffer2
. However, the data in the default
buffers is lost when the instrument is reset or the power is turned off.
Using the front panel to delete a reading buffer:
1.
Press the
MENU
key.
2.
Under Measure, select
Reading Buffers
. The MANAGE READING BUFFERS window is
displayed.
3.
Select
Buffer
.
4.
Select the buffer to be deleted.
5.
Select
Delete
to delete the buffer.
6.
When the "Are you sure you want to delete testData" prompt is displayed, select
Yes
.
Using SCPI commands:
To delete a user-defined buffer named
testData
, send the following command:
:TRACe:DELete "testData"
Using TSP commands:
To delete a user-defined buffer named
testData
, send the following command:
buffer.delete(testData)
Do not set the buffer name to
nil
to delete it. To cleanly delete the buffer from the instrument, use
the
buffer.delete()
command.
Remote buffer operation
You can control the 2470 buffers through a remote interface using SCPI or TSP remote commands.
This section provides a summary of some of the remote commands available to control and access
data stored in buffers; however, this section does not describe all of the available commands. See the
following sections for command descriptions:
•
For information about SCPI commands, see the
