Section 15: TSP command reference
printbuffer()
This function prints data from tables or reading buffer subtables.
Type TSP-Link accessible
Function No
Usage
printbuffer(startIndex, endIndex, bufferVar)
printbuffer(startIndex, endIndex, bufferVar, bufferVar2)
printbuffer(startIndex, endIndex, bufferVar, ..., bufferVarN)
startIndex
endIndex
bufferVar
bufferVar2
bufferVarN
...
Details
If startIndex ≤ 1, 1 is used as startIndex. If n < endIndex, n is used as endIndex.
When any given reading buffers are used in overlapped commands that have not yet completed (at
least to the specified index), this function outputs data as it becomes available.
When there are outstanding overlapped commands to acquire data, n refers to the index that the last
entry in the table has after all the measurements have completed.
If you pass a reading buffer instead of a reading buffer subtable, the default subtable for that reading
buffer is used.
This command generates a single response message that contains all data. The response message
is stored in the output queue.
The format.data attribute controls the format of the response message.
Example
format.data = format.ASCII
format.asciiprecision = 6
printbuffer(1, rb1.n, rb1)
This assumes that rb1 is a valid reading buffer in the runtime environment. The use of rb1.n
(bufferVar.n) indicates that the instrument should output all readings in the reading buffer. In this example,
rb1.n equals 10.
Example of output data (rb1.readings):
4.07205e-05, 4.10966e-05, 4.06867e-05, 4.08865e-05, 4.08220e-05, 4.08988e-05,
4.08250e-05, 4.09741e-05, 4.07174e-05, 4.07881e-05
