• Line 1: Request the current status of the Acquisition Buffer.
• Line 2: Retrieve the status.
• Line 3: The screen will show the current status of the Acquisition Buffer.
Before the Trigger Block is read, the Buffer Status String response indicates that the total number of Trigger Blocks
available in the buffer is still 6, and the total number of scans available in the buffer is 20215 (20216-1). Furthermore, it
shows that the current location of the Read Pointer is at Pre-Trigger scan -099 in the first Trigger Block. This particular
Trigger Block can be retrieved as follows:
•
Line 4: Get the oldest complete Trigger Block.
• Line 5: Get the response.
• Line 6: The screen will show the 1355 scans of data for each of the four (4) configured channels.
• Line 7: Now, get the current status of the Acquisition Buffer.
• Line 8: Get the response.
• Line 9: The screen will show the new current status of the Acquisition Buffer.
Notice that after the Trigger Block is read, there are now 5 (6-1) Trigger Blocks and 18860 (20215-1355) scans available
in the buffer, and the current location of the Read Pointer is at Pre-Trigger scan -100 of the next current Trigger Block. In
addition, the following information has been updated to reflect this current Trigger Block: The Time/Date stamping of the
Trigger and Stop events, and the current locations of the Stop Event Pointer and End Scan Pointer are now at Post-
Trigger scans 400 and 650, respectively.

(4) All of the scan data in the Acquisition Buffer
has been read. The buffer is now empty.
Part 4 – The oldest complete Trigger Block currently in the Acquisition Buffer has been read. The program
example demonstrates how the
R3 command will read all of the scan data currently residing in the buffer.
