of the specified buffer was
acquired
bufferVar
The reading buffer; can be a dynamically allocated buffer (user-defined), or a
dedicated reading buffer (such as
smua.nvbuffer1
)
N
The reading number (
1
to
bufferVar
.n
)
Details
The
sourceoutputstates
buffer recall attribute is similar to an array (a Lua table) of strings. This array
indicates the state of the source output (
"Off"
or
"On"
) at the time of the measurement.
For dedicated reading buffers, all buffer attributes are saved to nonvolatile memory only when the reading buffer
is saved to nonvolatile memory.
Example
printbuffer(1, 1, smua.nvbuffer1.sourceoutputstates)
Print the source output for the
first reading stored in dedicated
reading buffer 1.
Example output:
On
