bufferVar.appendmode
This attribute sets the state of the append mode of the reading buffer.
Type TSP-Link accessible
Attribute (RW) Yes
Usage
state = bufferVar.appendmode
bufferVar.appendmode = state
state
bufferVar
Details
Assigning a value to this attribute enables or disables the buffer append mode. This value can only be
changed with an empty buffer. Use bufferVar.clear() to empty the buffer.
For dedicated reading buffers, all buffer attributes are saved to nonvolatile memory only when the
reading buffer is saved to nonvolatile memory.
If the append mode is set to 0, any stored readings in the buffer are cleared before new ones are
stored. If append mode is set to 1, any stored readings remain in the buffer and new readings are
added to the buffer after the stored readings.
With append mode on, the first new measurement is stored at rb[n+1], where n is the number of
readings stored in buffer rb.
Example
buffer1.appendmode = 1
