printbuffer and printnumber functions
These functions are used to print data and numbers.
printbuffer
Function Prints data from reading buffer sub-tables.
There are multiple ways to use this function, depending on how many sub-tables are

printbuffer(start_index, end_index, st_1)

• When any of the given reading buffers are being used in overlapped commands that
have not yet completed at least to the desired index, this function will return data as
it becomes available.

index that the last entry in the table will have after all the measurements have
completed.
• This function prints values from reading buffers. If a specific sub-table is not
specified (e.g., "rb1" rather than "rb1.statuses"), the default "readings" sub-table will
be used.
• At least one sub-table must be specified. There is an upper limit that is dictated by
the output format and the maximum output message length. Values will be
interleaved in one message. Care must be taken not to exceed the maximum output
message length.
• All the data will be put in one response message. The response message will be
formatted as dictated by
