Trace Buffer
Trace Buffer
The trace buffer collects the test result data until a buffer full is detected. The
maximum data size is 100,000 blocks for each channel. The data flow is shown in
Figure 6-6. One data block may contain multiple data, such as voltage measurement
data, current measurement data, resistance measurement data, source output data,
calculation result data, time data, and status data. They are selected by using the
Format keys of the I/O key group. See “I/O key group” on page 4-42.
For setting the trace buffer, see “Trace Buffer Setup dialog box” on page 4-34.
In Figure 6-6, the variables indicate the following data.
• VOLT: Voltage measurement data
• CURR: Current measurement data
• RES: Resistance measurement data
• TIME: Time data (timestamp of the measurement start trigger)
• STAT: Status data
• SOUR: Source output data
• CALC: Math (calculation) result data
If data is stored in the trace buffer, its statistical data can be calculated. Calculable
statistical data is as follows.
• MEAN: Mean value
• SDEV: Standard deviation
•MIN: Minimum value
• MAX: Maximum value
• PKPK: Peak to peak value
The statistical data (except for PKPK) of VOLT, CURR, or RES data can be
displayed on the Trace Statistical Result dialog box. See “Trace Statistical Result
dialog box” on page 4-39 for displaying the data.
Use an external computer to display the data which cannot be displayed on the
B2961A/B2962A screen. The data can be saved in an USB memory connected to
the front panel USB-A connector or can be read by using SCPI commands.
