Example 
 
testData = buffer.make(50) 
smu.source.output = smu.ON 
trigger.model.load("SimpleLoop", 2, 0, testData)
trigger.model.initiate() 
waitcomplete() 
printbuffer(1, 2, testData.statuses) 
Create a reading buffer named testData,
configure the instrument to make two 
measurements, and store the readings in 
the buffer. 
Turn on the source output. 
Print the source status for the readings in 
testData.
Output: 
64, 64 
Indicating that the status is 
.

Usage 
readingTime = bufferVar.times[N] 
The time of the reading in hours, minutes, and seconds 
The name of the reading buffer, which may be a default buffer (
defbuffer1
) or a user-defined buffer
