Details
This buffer recall attribute holds an array (a Lua table) of the status values for all the readings in the buffer. The
status values are floating-point numbers that encode the status value; see the following tables for values.

The status value when reading N of the specified buffer was acquired;
Source status values are:
Complementary function output state: buffer.STAT_OUTPUT
•
Complementary function remote sense: buffer.STAT_SENSE
•
Complementary function power source limit: buffer.STAT_LIMIT
•
Overtemperature condition: buffer.STAT_OVER_TEMP
•
The name of the reading buffer, which may be a default buffer (defbuffer1 or
defbuffer2) or a user-defined buffer
The reading number N; can be any value between 1 and the number of readings in
the buffer; use the bufferVar.n command to determine the number of readings in
the buffer
