Data Store 8-7
Data store programming example
Table 8-2 summarizes the commands for basic data store operation. These commands set up
the SourceMeter as follows:
• Reading source: raw readings.
• Number of points: 10.
• Acquired data: buffer readings, mean (average), and standard deviation.
NOTE You can determine when the buffer is full by reading the appropriate status register
bit. See Section 14 for details on the status structure.
