dmm.measure.readwithtime()
This function initiates measurements and returns the last actual measurement and time information in UTC format
without using the trigger model.
Type TSP-Link accessible
Affected by Where saved Default value
Function
Yes
Usage
reading, seconds, fractional = dmm.measure.readwithtime()
dmm.measure.readwithtime(bufferName)
reading
The last reading of the measurement process
seconds
Seconds in UTC format
fractional
Fractional seconds
bufferName
The name of the reading buffer, which may be a default buffer (defbuffer1 or
defbuffer2) or a user-defined buffer; if no buffer is specified, this parameter
defaults to defbuffer1
Details
This command initiates measurements using the present function setting, stores the readings in a
reading buffer, and returns the last reading.
The dmm.measure.count attribute determines how many measurements are performed.
When you use a reading buffer with a command or action that makes multiple readings, all readings
are available in the reading buffer. However, only the last reading is returned as a reading with the
command.
If you define a specific reading buffer, the reading buffer must exist before you make the
measurement.
Example
print(dmm.measure.readwithtime())
Print the last measurement and time information in UTC format, which will look similar to:
-1.405293589829e-11 1400904629 0.1950935
