Details
When a reading buffer is set to buffer.FILL_ONCE, no data is overwritten in the buffer. When the buffer is
filled, no more data is stored in that buffer and new readings are discarded.
When a reading buffer is set to buffer.FILL_CONTINUOUS, the oldest data is overwritten by the newest data
after the buffer fills.
When a reading buffer is set to buffer.FILL_CONTINUOUS, the first new measurement is stored at n+1, where
n is the number of readings stored in the buffer.
