TBUFF

Syntax
Remarks
Example
all measurement cycles are complete. If you want to regain control of the bus
immediately, suppress the cr lf by replacing line 60 with:
60 OUTPUT 722 USING "#,K"TARM SGL, 5;"
In the above line, the # image specifier suppresses the cr lf. The K image specifier
suppresses trailing or leading spaces and outputs the command in free-field
format. Notice the semicolon following the TARM SGL.5. This indicates the end
of the command to the multimeter and must be present when you suppress cr lf.
Trigger Buffer. Enables or disables the multimeter's external trigger buffer.

•
Setting TBUFF to ON corrects for a TRIGGER TOO FAST error that can occur
when using an external EXT trigger arm, trigger, or sample event. With TBUFF
OFF, any external trigger occurring during a reading generates the TRIGGER
TOO FAST error and the trigger(s) are ignored. With TBUFF ON, the first
external trigger occurring during a reading is stored and no error is generated
by this or any successive triggers. After the reading is complete, the stored
trigger satisfies the EXT event if the multimeter is so programmed.
•
Executing the RESET command sets TBUFF to OFF.
•
Query Command. The TBUFF? query command returns the present trigger
buffering mode. Refer to "Query Commands" near the front of this chapter for
more information.
