Details
You must set the instrument to make digitize measurements before sending this command.
This command initiates measurements using the present function setting, stores the readings in a
reading buffer, and returns the last reading.
This command makes the number of digitize measurements that is set by the
dmm.digitize.count attribute.
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
voltMeasBuffer = buffer.make(10000)
dmm.digitize.func =
dmm.FUNC_DIGITIZE_VOLTAGE
print(dmm.digitize.read(voltMeasBuffer))
