Buffer configuration (front panel)
When configuring the buffer through the front panel, you must select a reading buffer. See Selecting a
reading buffer (on page 6-3) for more information.
To configure a buffer from the front panel:
1. Press the CONFIG key.
2. Press the STORE key. The RD BUFFER ATTR menu opens.
3. To view the count and capacity of a selected buffer, select the COUNT or CAPACITY menu
choice. To configure the buffer's append mode, select APPEND , then ON or OFF .
Appending readings
When the buffer append mode is disabled, the buffer is cleared (readings are lost) before a new
storage operation starts.
When buffer append mode is enabled, the buffer is not cleared and each subsequent storage
operation appends the readings to the buffer. When the buffer is filled to capacity, the storage
process stops. The readings must be cleared before the next storage operation starts.
See bufferVar.appendmode (on page 11-16) for more information.
Buffers created on the front panel have the append mode enabled by default.
Remote buffer operation
You can control the Series 3700A buffer using remote commands.
