Name

Description

MeasurementsAvailable

Gets the number of measurements available in the power meter's internal buffer. Note: The number of readings that have been acquired may be more or less.

OverRan

Flag indicating whether the power meter's internal buffer filled up before beign emptied.

ReturnCount

Set/get the return count for each measurement query.

SessionCount

Set/get the count of elements for this measurement buffer session. Set to 0 for the meter to continuously acquire measurements.

SessionTimeout

Set/get the time out for this measurement buffer session in seconds. Set to 0.0 for the meter to ignore the time out.

TimedOut

Name

Description

AdvanceReadIndex

Send a command to the meter to notify it the user is done reading and to advance the read index.

ClearBuffer

Sends a command to the power meter to clear all buffered readings. This method does not clear cached measurements accessible through GetAverageMeasurements, etc.

QueryAverageMeasurements

Query the power meter for all buffered average power measurements.

QueryDurations

Query the power meter for all buffered measurement durations in seconds.

QueryMaxMeasurements

Query the power meter for all buffered maximum power measurements.

QueryMinMeasurements

Query the power meter for all buffered minimum power measurements.

QuerySequenceNumbers

Query the power meter for all buffered sequence numbers.

QueryStartTimes

Query the power meter for all buffered start times in seconds.

StartAcquisition

Starts measurement buffer acquisition. This method allows the user to send a command to the power meter to begin buffering measurements without waiting for all measurements to be completed. Alternately, you can call the AcquireReadings method to start buffering measurements and wait for them to be read from the meter.

StopAcquisition

Sends a command to stop the measurement buffer from acquiring readings.
