Send the following commands:
-- Reset the instrument to default settings.
reset()
-- Create a local variable to store the number of samples.
numofsamples = 100
-- Set the measure function to digitize voltage to capture the ripple waveform.
dmm.digitize.func = dmm.FUNC_DIGITIZE_VOLTAGE
-- Voltage range must be fixed when using digitize voltage.
dmm.digitize.range = 10
-- Set sample rate to 1 megasample per second to sample a
-- 50 kHz voltage ripple.
dmm.digitize.samplerate = 1e6
-- Set aperture to automatic to get the highest accuracy measurement
-- for the configured sampling rate.
dmm.digitize.aperture = dmm.APERTURE_AUTO
-- Set sample count to the number of samples to capture about 5 ripples.
dmm.digitize.count = numofsamples
-- Set the input impedance to automatic so it selects 10 G for the 10 V range.
dmm.digitize.inputimpedance = dmm.IMPEDANCE_AUTO
-- Set the buffer to align with the number of samples (optional).
defbuffer1.capacity = numofsamples
-- Clear buffer.
defbuffer1.clear()
-- Make sure your signal is connected to the DMM and digitize.
dmm.digitize.read()
-- Print the digitized readings.
if defbuffer1.n > 0 then
print("Ripple Voltage:")
print("Total Count:", defbuffer1.n)
printbuffer(1, defbuffer1.n, defbuffer1)
print("Timestamps:")
printbuffer(1, defbuffer1.n, defbuffer1.relativetimestamps)

print("No data collected")

Duty cycle from switch node voltage
The switching duty cycle determines the voltage at the output compared to the input voltage, as
shown in the following equation:
