Description
This command is used to select the buffer control. When NEXT is selected, the

process starts when Model 6482 is taken out of idle to perform source-measure
operations.
After the buffer stores the specified number of reading arrays (as set by the
:POINts command), the asterisk annuciator turns off to indicate that storage is
done.
With NEVer selected, storage into the buffer is disabled.
