12: SCPI command reference 2470 High Voltage SourceMeter Instrument
12-122 2470-901-01 Rev. A / May 2019
The options for <bufferElements> are described in the following table.
Option Description
The date when the data point was measured
The measured value as it appears on the front panel
The fractional seconds for the data point when the data point was measured
The measurement reading based on the
[:SENSe[1]]:FUNCtion[:ON]
setting; if
no buffer elements are defined, this option is used
The relative time when the data point was measured
The seconds in UTC (Coordinated Universal Time) format when the data point was
measured
The source value; if readback is ON, then it is the readback value, otherwise it is the
programmed source value (see :SOURce[1]:<function>:READ:BACK (on page
The source value as it appears on the display
The status information associated with sourcing. The values returned indicate the
status of the following conditions:
 Overvoltage protection was active
 Measured source value was read
 Overtemperature condition existed
 Source function level was limited
 Four-wire sense was used
The unit of value associated with the source value
The status information associated with the measurement; see the "Buffer status bits
for sense measurements" table below
The time for the data point
The timestamp for the data point
The unit of measure associated with the measurement
The STATus buffer element returns status values for the readings in the buffer. The status values are
integers that encode the status value. Refer to the following table for values.
Buffer status bits for sense measurements
Bit (hex) Name Decimal Description
Measure status questionable
A/D converter from which reading originated; for the
2470, this will always be 0 (main)
Measure terminal, front is 1, rear is 0
Measure status limit 2 low
Measure status limit 2 high
Measure status limit 1 low
Measure status limit 1 high
