When Data Buffer Memory is Used
Follow the rules below when using the data buffer memory function.
o Measurement data collected after sending the :MMEM:FILL DBUF 
command to use the data buffer memory function are stored in the data 
buffer memory in the order measured.
o When the E4980A/AL is triggered using the :TRIG command, the 
measurement results are stored only in the data buffer memory. Therefore, 
you do not have to clear the output buffer after each measurement.
*When the E4980A/AL is triggered using the *TRG or TRIGGER (GET) bus 
command, the measurement results are stored in both the data buffer 
memory and the output buffer. Therefore, it is necessary to read the 
measurement results in the output buffer using the controller and to clear 
the output buffer each time a measurement is made. If you fail to do this, an 
error (-410, “Query INTERRUPTED”) will occur.
The output buffer is the area where measurement data are stored when the 
E4980A/AL is triggered without using the data buffer memory. The data 
buffer memory is off in the E4980A/AL’s initial state, and measurement data 
are stored in the output buffer. It is necessary to read data in the output 
buffer using the controller and clear the output buffer each time a 
measurement is made. 
o When the number of sets of measurement data exceeds the capacity of the 
buffer memory, all of the overflowed measurement data will be lost, an error 
(90, “Data Memory Overflow”) will occur, and bit 3 of the standard event 
status register will be set to 1. When you store new data into the buffer data 
memory, use the :MEM:CLE DBUF command to clear the data buffer 
memory.
o When the number of sets of measurement data is less than the capacity of 
the buffer memory, the following data, instead of the actual measurement 
data, are input to the unused portion of the data buffer memory.
o When the data buffer memory function is used during a list sweep 
measurement, the measurement result for one sweep point is stored as one 
set of measurement data. Therefore, when two or more sweep points are the
