printbuffer()
This function prints data from tables or reading buffer subtables.
Type TSP-Link accessible
Affected by Where saved Default value
Function
No
Usage
printbuffer(startIndex, endIndex, bufferVar)
printbuffer(startIndex, endIndex, bufferVar, bufferVar2)
printbuffer(startIndex, endIndex, bufferVar, ..., bufferVarN)
startIndex
Beginning index of the buffer to print
endIndex
Ending index of the buffer to print
bufferVar
Name of first table or reading buffer subtable to print; may be a
default buffer (defbuffer1 or defbuffer2) or a user-defined
buffer
bufferVar2
Second table or reading buffer subtable to print; may be a default
buffer (
defbuffer1
or
defbuffer2
) or a user-defined buffer
bufferVarN
The last table or reading buffer subtable to print; may be a default
buffer (
defbuffer1
or
defbuffer2
) or a user-defined buffer
...
One or more tables or reading buffer subtables separated with
commas
Details
The correct usage of this function for a buffer containing n elements is:
1 ≤ startIndex ≤ endIndex ≤ n
Where n refers to the index of the last entry in the tables to be printed.
If endIndex < startIndex or n < startIndex, no data is printed. If startIndex ≤ 1, 1 is used as
startIndex. If n < endIndex, n is used as endIndex.
When any given reading buffers are used in overlapped commands that have not yet completed (at least to the
desired index), this function outputs data as it becomes available.
