Reading buffer commands

Command

Description

Commands save/clear readings:

smu

.savebuffer(smu

.nvbuffer

)

rbuffer

)

Reading buffer where power readings will be stored.

smu

.trigger.measure.v(

rbuffer

)

Reading buffer where voltage readings will be stored.

smu

.trigger.measure.i(

rbuffer

)

(current and voltage are stored in separate buffers).

Commands to access readings:

printbuffer(

start_index, end_index,

st_1, st_2, ... st_n

)

Prints data from buffer subtables:

start_index

(starting index

of values to print).

end_index

(ending index of values to print).

st_1, st_2, ... st_n

(subtables from which to print each

separated by a comma).
