printbuffer()

This function prints data from tables or reading buffer subtables.
Type TSP-Link accessible
Function No
Usage
printbuffer(startIndex, endIndex, bufferVar)
printbuffer(startIndex, endIndex, bufferVar, bufferVar2)
printbuffer(startIndex, endIndex, bufferVar, ..., bufferVarN)
startIndex
endIndex
bufferVar
bufferVar2
bufferVarN
...
Details
The correct usage of this function for a buffer containing n elements is:
1 ≤ startIndex ≤ endIndex ≤ n
Where n refers to the index of the last entry in the tables to be printed.
If endIndex < startIndex or n < startIndex, no data is printed. If startIndex ≤ 1, 1 is used as
startIndex. If n < endIndex, n is used as endIndex.
When any given reading buffers are used in overlapped commands that have not yet completed (at least to the
desired index), this function outputs data as it becomes available.
