Storing readings in buffer
The reading buffer in the Model 2016 is flexible and capable. It has three controls, which are
found in the
TRACe subsystem. There are commands to control:
• The size of the buffer (in readings).
TRACe:POINts <NRf>
• Where the data is coming from (before or after the CALCulate1 math post-processing).
TRACe:FEED SENSe1 store unprocessed readings
TRACe:FEED CALCualte1 store math processed readings
• Select buffer control mode.
TRACe:FEED:CONTrol NEVer immediately stop storing readings
TRACe:FEED:CONTrol NEXT start now, stop when buffer is full
The following example program sets up the Model 2016 to take 20 readings as fast as it can
into the buffer, then reads the data back after the buffer has filled.
