smu.digitize.readwithtime()

This function initiates digitize measurements and returns the last actual measurement and time information in
UTC format without using the trigger mode.
Type TSP-Link accessible
Function Yes
Usage
reading, seconds, fractional = smu.digitize.readwithtime()
reading, seconds, fractional = smu.digitize.readwithtime(bufferName)

Details
This command initiates digitize measurements using the present function settings, stores the
readings in a reading buffer, and returns the last reading.
The smu.digitize.count attribute determines how many measurements are performed.
When you use a reading buffer with a command or action that makes multiple readings, all readings
are available in the reading buffer. However, only the last reading is returned as a reading with the
command.
If you define a specific reading buffer, the reading buffer must exist before you make the
measurement.
Example
print(smu.digitize.readwithtime())
