7: TSP command reference Series 2600B System SourceMeter® Instrument
7-18 2600BS-901-01 Rev. C / August 2016
Usage
basetime = bufferVar.basetimestamp
The timestamp of the first stored reading
The reading buffer; can be a dynamically allocated buffer (user-defined), or a
dedicated reading buffer (such as
)
Details
This read-only attribute contains the timestamp (in seconds) of the first reading stored in a buffer
(rb[1] stored in reading buffer rb). The timestamp is the number of seconds since 12:00 AM
January 1, 1970 (UTC) that the measurement was performed and stored.
For dedicated reading buffers, all buffer attributes are saved to nonvolatile memory only when the
reading buffer is saved to nonvolatile memory.
See the smuX.nvbufferY attribute for details on accessing dedicated reading buffers.
Example
basetime = smua.nvbuffer1.basetimestamp
print(basetime)
Read the timestamp for the first reading
stored in dedicated reading buffer 1
(source-measure unit (SMU) channel A).
Output:
1.28300e+09
This output indicates that the timestamp is
1,283,000,000 seconds (which is Saturday,
August 28, 2010 at 12:53:20 PM).
