Buffer status
The buffer reading status attribute includes the status information as a numeric value; see the
following table for values. For example, to access status information for the second element of SMU
channel A buffer 1, use the following command:
stat_info = smua.nvbuffer1.statuses[2]

Dynamic reading buffers
Reading buffers can also be allocated dynamically. Dynamic reading buffers are created and
allocated with the
smu
X
.makebuffer(
n
)
command, where
n
is the number of readings the buffer
can store. For example, the following command allocates a reading buffer named
mybuffer
that can
store 100 readings:
mybuffer = smua.makebuffer(100)
Allocated reading buffers can be deleted as follows:
mybuffer = nil
Dynamically allocated reading buffers can be used interchangeably with the
smu
X
.nvbuffer
Y
buffers that are described in
Dedicated reading buffer designations
(on page 3-11).
