smuX.nvbufferY.capacity
Attribute Capacity of the buffer.
Usage
capacity = smuX.nvbufferY.capacity
• Reading this attribute returns the number of readings that can be stored in the
Remarks
buffer.
• A buffer with only basic collection items turned on can store over 100,000 readings.
Capacity does not change as readings fill the buffer. Turning on additional collection
items, such as timestamps and source values, decreases the capacity of the buffer.
• This is a read-only attribute.
Details See "Reading
Also see smuX.measure.overlappedY, smuX.measure.Y,
Example Read the capacity of SMU A buffer 1:
capacity = smua.nvbuffer1.capacity
print(capacity)
Output:
smuX.nvbufferY.clear
Function Clears the buffer.
Usage
smuX.nvbufferY.clear()
Remarks This function clears all readings from the indicated buffer.
