When this command is sent and the Model 2500 is addressed to talk, all
the readings stored in the data store are sent to the computer.
The format used to send readings over the bus is controlled from the
:FORMat subsystem.
See Appendix C for a detailed explanation on how data flows through the vari-
ous operation blocks of the Model 2500. It clarifies the types of readings that are
acquired by the various commands to read data.
This action command is used to clear the buffer of readings. If you do
not clear the buffer, a subsequent store will overwrite the old readings.
