Type TSP-Link accessible

Usage
for name in dmm.buffer.catalog() do...end
name
Details
You can access the catalog for the user-created local reading buffers so that you can print the names
of all reading buffers in the system. The entries are enumerated in no particular order. From this list,
you may selectively delete reading buffers from the system.
Do not delete the reading buffers by sending:
for name in dmm.buffer.catalog() do name = nil end
This locks the system and forces you to stop the command (through the EXIT key on the front
panel). It does not delete the reading buffers from the instrument. This occurs because name is a
string type variable and not a reading buffer type.
Example
for name in dmm.buffer.catalog() do print(name) end
buf1 = nil
collectgarbage()
