Introduction to reading buffers

Reading buffers capture measurements, ranges, the output state of the instrument, and instrument

status. The 2470 has two default reading buffers. You can also create user-defined reading buffers.

Reading buffers provide statistics, including average, minimum, maximum, and standard deviation. If

you use SCPI commands over the remote interface, peak-to-peak statistics are also available.

When you create a reading buffer, that buffer becomes the active buffer until you choose a different

buffer.

You can perform the following operations on reading buffers from the front panel or a remote

interface:

• Configure, store, and recall reading buffers.

• View reading buffer content.

• Choose to store readings in a default reading buffer or the user-defined reading buffers.

• Save reading buffer content to a USB flash drive.

• Set reading buffers to fill once or fill continuously.

• Change the capacity of reading buffers.

• Delete user-defined reading buffers. You cannot delete defbuffer1 and defbuffer2.

• Clear reading buffers.

• Clear the default reading buffers and delete the user-defined reading buffers by turning the

instrument off or sending an instrument reset command.
