You must set the instrument to a digitize function before sending this command.
This query makes the number of readings specified by [:SENSe[1]]:DIGitize:COUNt. If multiple
readings are made, all readings are available in the reading buffer. However, only the last reading is
returned as a reading with the command. To get multiple readings, use the :TRACe:DATA?
command.
When specifying buffer elements, you can:
• Specify buffer elements in any order.
• Include any or all of the buffer elements listed below in a single list. You can repeat elements as
long as the number of elements in the list is less than 14.
• Use a comma to delineate multiple elements for a data point.
