Type TSP-Link accessible
Function Yes
Usage

buffer.save(bufferVar, fileName, timeFormat)
buffer.save(bufferVar, fileName, timeFormat, start, end)

end
Details
The filename must specify the full path (including /usb1/). If included, the file extension must be set
to .csv (if no file extension is specified, .csv is added).
For options that save more than one item of time information, each item is comma-delimited. For
example, the default format is date, time, and fractional seconds for each reading.
Examples of valid destination file names:
buffer.save(MyBuffer, "/usb1/myData")
buffer.save(MyBuffer, "/usb1/myData.csv")
The Model DMM7510 does not check for existing files when you save. Verify that you are using a
unique name to avoid overwriting any existing .csv files on the flash drive.
Example 1
buffer.save(MyBuffer, "/usb1/myData.csv")
Save all reading and default time information from a buffer named MyBuffer to a file named myData.csv on
the USB flash drive.
Example 2
buffer.save(MyBuffer, "/usb1/myDataRel.csv", buffer.SAVE_RELATIVE_TIME)
Save all readings and relative timestamps from MyBuffer to a file named myDataRel.csv on the USB flash
drive.
