Buffer

f.
TRACe:POINts 2 to 110000
Set buffer size
With buffer auto-clear enabled, you can set the buffer to store from 2 to 110,000 readings. A
buffer size of zero or one is not valid (error -222).
With buffer auto-clear disabled, you cannot use this command to set buffer size (error -221)
because it is fixed at 110,000.
NOTE
The
G
full and
I
buffer full measurement events are not intended to be used with
buffer size smaller than four readings.
g.
TRACe:TSTamp:FORMat ABSolute | DELta
Select timestamp format
For front panel operation, both timestamp formats (absolute and delta) can be recalled. For
remote programming, you can only use one timestamp at a time.
NOTE
Changing the timestamp format clears the buffer.
The timestamp will only be included with a returned buffer reading if it is specified as a data
element (see FORMat:ELEMents).
h.
TRACe:FEED SENSe | CALCulate | NONE
Select source of readings
TRACe:FEED:CONTrol NEXT| ALWays | NEVer
Select buffer control
TRACe:FEED — The SENSe parameter selects readings before any enabled mX+b,
percent, or reciprocal math calculation. For the CALCulate parameter, the result of the cal-
culation is stored in the buffer. The NONE parameter disables storage into the buffer. Math
functions are covered in
NOTE
In order to store readings in the buffer, TRACe:FEED cannot be set to NONE.
TRACe:FEED:CONTrol — Selecting NEXT enables the buffer. After the specified number
of readings (buffer size) are stored, buffer operation disables. The ALWays parameter places
the buffer into a continuous filling mode. After the specified number of readings are stored,
operation wraps back to the first buffer location and overwrites the previous readings. The
NEVer parameter disables buffer operation.
i.
TRACe:DATA?
Read buffer
Use TRACE:DATA? to retrieve all readings that are stored in the buffer. You can send this
command even if the instrument is still storing readings. When TRACe:DATA? is sent, it
will return the readings stored up to that point in time. Subsequent TRACe:DATA? com-
mands will not retrieve readings already returned. However, once the buffer has filled and
you have retrieved all buffer readings, you can again send TRACe:DATA? to retrieve all the
stored readings.
The data elements returned with each stored reading depends on which ones are selected
with FORMat:ELEMents command (see
