The
min
and
max
entries each have the attributes described in the following table.
Min and max entry attributes
Attribute
Description
measurefunction
String indicating the function measured for the reading (current, voltage,
ohms or watts).
measurerange
The full-scale range value for the measure range used when the
measurement was made.
reading
The reading value.
sourcefunction
String indicating the source function at the time of the measurement
(current or voltage).
sourceoutputstate
String indicating the state of the source (off or on).
sourcerange
Full-scale range value for the source range used when the
measurement was made.
sourcevalue
If
bufferVar
.collectsourcevalues
is enabled, the sourced value
in effect at the time of the reading.
status
Status value for the reading; the status value is a floating-point number
that encodes the status value into a floating-point value.
timestamp
If
bufferVar
.collecttimestamps
is enabled, the timestamp, in
seconds, between when the reading was acquired and when the first
reading in the buffer was acquired; adding this value to the base
timestamp will give the actual time the measurement was acquired.
bufferVar
is the name of the buffer. See
(on page 7-175) for additional information.
Example
:
The following programming example illustrates how to output mean and standard deviation statistics
from buffer 1:
statistics = smua.buffer.getstats(smua.nvbuffer1)
print(statistics.mean, statistics.stddev)
