//Set a suitable sleep time.
//In order to achieve the maximum measurement speed,
//the buffer level should never reach the buffer size.
//But, the results should also not be fetched too fast.
//Therefore a sleep time between two consecutive
//SENS:POW:AVG:BUFF:DATA? queries is meaningful.
//Since the sensor reaches approximately 50000 measurements per second
//in this setup, 50...80 ms is a suitable sleep time.
//Then you'll get 2500...4000 measurements per SENS:POW:AVG:BUFF:DATA? query

//Fetch available results

Stop the continuous measurement.
