Description
measurefunctions An array (a LUA table) of strings indicating the function measured
for the reading (Current, Voltage, Ohms or Watts).
measureranges An array (a LUA table) of full scale range values for the measure
range used when the measurement was made.
readings An array (a LUA table) of the readings stored in the reading buffer.
This array holds the same data that is returned when the reading
buffer is accessed directly, i.e., rb[2] and rb.readings[2] are the
same value.
sourcefunctions An array (a LUA table) of strings indicating the source function at
the time of the measurement (Current or Voltage).
sourceoutputstates An array (a LUA table) of strings indicating the state of the source
(Off or On).
sourceranges An array (a LUA table) of full scale range values for the source
range used when the measurement was made.
sourcevalues If enabled, an array (a LUA table) of the sourced values in effect at
the time of the reading.
statuses An array (a LUA table) of status values for all of the readings in the
buffer. The status values are floating-point numbers that encode
the status value into a floating-point value (see
Table 7-7).
timestamps An array (a LUA table) of timestamps, in seconds, of when each
reading occurred. These are relative to the basetimestamp for
the buffer (
Table 7-3).
1. The default attribute is readings and can be omitted. For example, smua.nvbuffer1 and
smua.nvbuffer1.readings will both return readings from Channel A, buffer 1.
