Section 12: Instrument Control Library
This function will start a measurement and return immediately. The measurements,

as they are performed, are stored in a reading buffer (
information also being acquired). If the instrument is configured to return multiple
readings where one is requested, the readings will be available as they are made.
• The smuX.measure.overlappediv function stores both current and voltage readings
in respective buffers (current and then voltage are stored in separate buffers).
• This function is an overlapped command. Script execution will continue while the
measurement(s) is made in the background. Attempts to access result values that have
not yet been generated will cause the script to block and wait for the data to become
available. The waitcomplete function can also be used to wait for the measurement(s)
to complete before continuing.
• If a given reading buffer contains any data, it will be cleared prior to taking any
measurements, unless the reading buffer has been configured to append data.
