Can I clear a SMU measurement buffer by changing any function/state?

Issue Details

I have some intermittent errors in my production code, so I will periodically see errors show up when running a sequence for a given SMU (usually a PXIe-4163) channel during a sweep.

As I would clear errors and either reconfigure to test again or move on to other tests, I'm trying to sort out whether previously taken measurements are still in the buffer/memory.

Is there any particular state or function that would clear out prior measure records in memory or the buffer?

Solution

When you abort the session, measurements are disabled and the measurement buffer is cleared.

Other functions like reset, disable, close will also implicitly do the same.
