Use
TRACe:DATA?
to retrieve all readings that are stored in the buffer. You can send this command
even if the instrument is still storing readings. When
TRACe:DATA?
is sent, it will return the readings
stored up to that point in time. Subsequent
TRACe:DATA?
commands will not retrieve readings
already returned. However, once the buffer has been fully filled, you can retrieve all the stored
readings again by sending this command. For example, if
TRACe:DATA? "READ, SOURce"
is sent,
the subsequent
TRACe:DATA? "MODE"
command will not return mode information. You can get
additional buffer data by sending the command
TRACe:DATA:SELected?
.
When specifying buffer elements, you can:
Specify buffer elements in any order.
Include up to 10 elements in a single list.
Repeat elements as long as the number of elements in the list is less than 10.
Use a comma to delineate multiple elements for a data point.
Use single or double quotes to enclose all the elements.
The options for
<bufferElements>
are described in the following table.
