The options for <bufferElements> are described in the following table.
Option Description
DATE
The date when the data point was measured
FORMatted
The measured value as it appears on the front panel
FRACtional
The fractional seconds for the data point when the data point was measured
READing
The measurement reading based on the SENS:FUNC setting; if no buffer elements
are defined, this option is used
RELative
The relative time when the data point was measured
SEConds
The seconds in UTC (Coordinated Universal Time) format when the data point was
measured
SOURce
The source value; if readback is ON, then it is the readback value, otherwise it is the
programmed source value (see :SOURce[1]:<function>:READ:BACK (on page 6-77))
SOURFORMatted
The source value as it appears on the display
SOURSTATus
The status information associated with sourcing
SOURUNIT
The unit of value associated with the source value
STATus
The status information associated with the measurement
TIME

If you have FORMat[:DATA] set to REAL or SREAL, you will have fewer options for buffer elements.
If you request one of the buffer elements, you will see the error 1133, "Parameter 4, Syntax error,
expected valid name parameters."
Example
TRACe:MAKE "voltMeasBuffer", 10000
MEAS:VOLT? "voltMeasBuffer", FORM, DATE, READ
Create a buffer named voltMeasBuffer. Make a voltage measurement and store it in the buffer
voltMeasBuffer and return the formatted reading, the date, and the reading elements from the buffer.
Sample output is:
-00.0024 mV,05/16/2014,-2.384862E-06
