The output of :READ:DIG? is affected by the data format selected by :FORMat[:DATA]. If you set
FORMat[:DATA] to REAL or SREAL, you will have fewer options for buffer elements. The only buffer
elements available are READing, RELative, and EXTRa. If you request a buffer element that is not
permitted for the selected data format, the instrument generates the error 1133, "Parameter 4, Syntax
error, expected valid name parameters."
The STATus buffer element returns status values for the readings in the buffer. The status values are
floating-point numbers that encode the status value. Refer to the following table for values.
Buffer status bits for sense measurements
Bit (hex) Name Decimal Description
Measure status questionable
A/D converter from which reading originated; for the
Model DMM7510, this will always be 0 (Main) or 2
Measure terminal, front is 1, rear is 0
Measure status limit 2 low
Measure status limit 2 high
Measure status limit 1 low
Measure status limit 1 high
Example
:TRACe:MAKE "voltDigBuffer", 10000
:DIG:FUNC "VOLTage"
:SENS:DIG:COUN 100
:READ:DIG? "voltDigBuffer", FORM, DATE, READ
:TRAC:DATA? 95,100, "voltDigBuffer"
Create a buffer named voltDigBuffer. Make a digitize measurement, store it in the buffer
voltDigBuffer, and return the formatted readings, date, and reading buffer elements for the last reading
stored in voltDigBuffer, then return readings 95 to 100.
Example output is:
+04.963 V,09/26/2014,4.962954E+00
4.961211E+00,4.961695E+00,4.961889E+00,4.961985E+00,4.962276E+00,4.962954E+00
