The three measure readings, timestamps, and source values will be stored in the
buffer.
Step 3: Read the buffer
The following code will output the three sets of data (nine values) in the same
message:
rb1 = smua.nvbuffer1
printbuffer(1, rb1.n, rb1, rb1.timestamps, rb1.sourcevalues)
For the above printbuffer function, 1 is the starting index for values to output;
is the ending index ( n = the number of readings in the buffer, which in this
rb1.n
case is 3); rb1 includes the measured readings; rb1.timestamps includes the
timestamps; and rb1.sourcevalues includes the source values.
Example output:
1.234567e-03, 5.555555e-02, 1.000000e+00, 2.362360e-03,
8.888888e-02, 1.000000e+00, 2.362368e-03, 1.111111e-01,
1.000000e+00
The above output is returned in the following order:
reading1, timestamp1, sourcevalue1, reading2, timestamp2, sourcevalue2,
reading3, timestamp3, sourcevalue3
Refer to Step 3 of "Running a factory script" in Section 3 for more examples on
reading the buffer.
