Example
TRACe:MAKE "MyBuffer", 100
COUN 5
TRACe:TRIG "MyBuffer"
TRACe:DATA? 1,5, "MyBuffer", rel
Create a buffer called MyBuffer with a maximum size of 100.
Make readings and store them in MyBuffer.
Recall the relative time when the data points were measured
for the first five readings in the buffer.
Example output:
0.000000,0.408402,0.816757,1.208823,1.617529

Usage
:TRACe:WRITe:FORMat "<bufferName>", <units>, <displayDigits>
:TRACe:WRITe:FORMat "<bufferName>", <units>, <displayDigits>, <extraUnits>
:TRACe:WRITe:FORMat "<bufferName>", <units>, <displayDigits>, <extraUnits>,
<extraDigits>
<bufferName>
A user-supplied string that indicates the name of the buffer
<units>
The units for the first measurement in the buffer index:
 AMP

<displayDigits>
The number of digits to use for the first measurement: 3 to 8
<extraUnits>
The units for the second measurement in the buffer index; the selections are the
same as <units> (only valid for buffer style FULLWRITable); if this parameter is
not specified, the value for
<units>
is used
<extraDigits>
The number of digits to use for the second measurement; the selections are the
same as <displayDigits> (only valid for buffer style FULLWRITable); if this
