Usage
result = bit.toggle(value, index)
result
Result of the bit manipulation
value
Specified number
index
One-based bit position within value to toggle (1 to 32)
Details
This function returns result, which is the result of toggling the bit index in value.
Any fractional part of value is truncated to make it an integer. The returned value is also an integer.
The least significant bit of value is at index position 1; the most significant bit is at index position 32.
The indexed bit for value is toggled from 0 to 1, or 1 to 0.
Example
testResult = bit.toggle(10, 3)
print(testResult)
The binary equivalent of decimal 10 is 1010.
Toggling the bit at index position 3 returns a
decimal value of 14 (binary 1110).
Output: 1.40000e+01

bufferVar.appendmode
This attribute sets the state of the reading buffer's append mode.
Type TSP-Link accessible Affected by Where saved Default value
Attribute (RW) Yes Not applicable Not applicable 0 (disabled)
Usage
state = bufferVar.appendmode
bufferVar.appendmode = state
state
The reading buffer append mode; set to one of the following:
• 0: Append mode off; new measure data overwrites the previous buffer content
• 1: Append mode on; appends new measure data to the present buffer content
bufferVar
The reading buffer; can be a dynamically allocated buffer (user-defined), or a
dedicated reading buffer (such as smua.nvbuffer1)
