Series 3700 System Switch/Multimeter Reference Manual Section 7: Buffer: Data Storage and Retrieval
3700S-901-01 Rev. C / July 2008 7-7
Appending readings
When the buffer append mode is disabled, the buffer is cleared (readings lost)
before a new storage operation starts.
When buffer append mode is enabled, the buffer is not cleared and each
subsequent storage operation appends the readings to the buffer. When the
buffer is filled to capacity, the storage process stops. The readings must be
cleared before the next storage operation starts.
See dmm.appendbuffer() (on page 13-111) for more information.
NOTE Buffers created on the front panel have the append mode enabled by
default.
Remote buffer operation
Control the Series 3700 buffer over the bus by sending ICL (Instrument Control
Library) commands.
