Details
This function clears all readings from the specified cache.
If you run successive operations that overwrite reading buffer data, the reading buffer may return stale cache
data. This can happen when you:
•
Initiate successive sweeps without reconfiguring the sweep measurements. Watch for this when running
Lua code remotely on more than one node, because values in the reading buffer cache may change
while the Lua code is running.
•
Overwrite data in the reading buffer by setting the
bufferVar
.fillmode attribute to
smu
X
.FILL_WINDOW
.
To avoid this, you can include explicit calls to the
bufferVar
.clearcache()
function to remove stale values
from the reading buffer cache.
Example
smua.nvbuffer1.clearcache() Clears the reading buffer cache for
dedicated reading buffer 1.

bufferVar
The reading buffer; can be a dynamically allocated buffer (user-defined), or a
dedicated reading buffer (such as
smua.nvbuffer1
)
Details
Assigning a value to this attribute enables or disables the storage of source values. Reading this attribute returns
the state of source value collection. This value can only be changed with an empty buffer. Empty the buffer using
the
bufferVar
.clear()
function.
For dedicated reading buffers, all buffer attributes are saved to nonvolatile memory only when the reading buffer
is saved to nonvolatile memory.
When on, source values will be stored with readings in the buffer. This requires four extra bytes of storage for
each reading. Turning on additional collection items, such as source values (this attribute) and timestamps,
decreases the capacity of a dedicated reading buffer (for example,
smua.nvbuffer1
), but does not change the
capacity of a user-defined dynamically allocated buffer.
