First of all you are trying to get either 0 or NaN out of it:

Your CDEF means: if (Nan == DSmemBuffer) then DSmemBuffer else 0

But reversing the two possible results won't work either.  You are
using "EQ" and "UNKN" (NaN) together.  Nothing is equal, not even
another NaN.

Try  CDEF:memBuffer=DSmemBuffer,UN,0,DSmemBuffer,IF
which means: if isnan(DSmemBuffer) then 0 else DSmemBuffer
