SCPI commands
SCPI commands to configure and control the buffer are listed in Table 14.

Table 14 does not provide a complete listing of buffer commands. Documentation for
all buffer commands (including the ones for buffer statistics) can be found in Section 8
of the Model 6430 Instruction Manual.
Programming example
Table 15 shows a typical command sequence to store and recall readings from the buffer.
