You can use bufferVar.n to retrieve the number of readings in the specified reading buffer.
Attribute Description
The readings stored in a specified reading buffer. See
bufferVar.readings (on page 14-28).
The dates of readings stored in the reading buffer. See
bufferVar.dates (on page 14-20).
The status values of readings in the reading buffer. See
bufferVar.statuses (on page 14-37).
bufferVar.formattedreadings
The stored readings formatted as they appear on the front-panel
display. See bufferVar.formattedreadings (on page 14-24).
bufferVar.sourceformattedvalues
The source levels formatted as they appear on the front-panel
display when the readings in the reading buffer were acquired.
See bufferVar.sourceformattedvalues (on page 14-31).
The source levels that were being output when readings in the
reading buffer were acquired. See bufferVar.sourcevalues (on
The source status conditions of the instrument for the reading
point. See bufferVar.sourcestatuses (on page 14-32).
The time when the instrument made the readings. See
bufferVar.times (on page 14-38).
The timestamps of readings stored in the reading buffer. See
bufferVar.timestamps (on page 14-39).

to the timestamp of reading buffer entry number 1. See
bufferVar.relativetimestamps (on page 14-29).
The units of measure of the source. See bufferVar.sourceunits (on
page 14-33).
The nonfractional seconds portion of the timestamp when the
reading was stored in UTC format. See bufferVar.seconds (on
page 14-30).
bufferVar.fractionalseconds
The fractional portion of the timestamp (in seconds) of when each
reading occurred. See bufferVar.fractionalseconds (on page
