Details
This attribute contains the nonfractional seconds portion of the timestamp when the reading was
stored in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) format.
The nonfractional seconds portion of the timestamp gives the lowest resolution down to 1 second. To
access additional resolution of a timestamp, see
bufferVar
.fractionalseconds
.
Example
reset()
testData = buffer.make(50)
trigger.model.load("SimpleLoop", 6, 0,
testData)
trigger.model.initiate()
waitcomplete()
printbuffer(1, 6, testData.seconds)
Create a reading buffer named
testData
,
configure the instrument to make six
measurements, and store the readings in
the buffer.
Print the seconds portion for readings 1 to 6
in
testData
.
Example output:
1362261492, 1362261492,
1362261493, 1362261493,
