localnode.prompts4882
Attribute Controls the generation of prompts for IEEE-488.2 common commands.
Default 1
TSP-Link
accessibility
This attribute can be accessed from a remote TSP-Link node.
Usage localnode.prompts4882 = prompting
prompting = localnode.prompts4882
prompting IEEE-488.2 prompting mode.
Remarks • When localnode.prompts4882 is set to 1, the IEEE-488.2 common commands will
generate prompts if prompting is enabled with the localnode.prompts attribute.
• When localnode.prompts4882 is set to 0, IEEE-488.2 common commands will not generate
prompts.
• When using the *trg command with a script that executes trigger.wait repeatedly, setting
localnode.prompts4882 to 0 will avoid problems associated with the command interface
input queue filling.
•If localnode.prompts4882 is set to 1, limit the number of *trg commands sent to a running
script to 50 regardless of the setting of the localnode.prompts attribute.
• The default value for localnode.prompts4882 is 1. It will reset to the default value each time
the unit is powered up.
localnode.reset
Function Resets the local node.
TSP-Link
accessibility
This function can be accessed from a remote TSP-Link node.
Usage localnode.reset() -- Resets the local node.
Remarks • This function resets the local node instrument.
• localnode.reset is different from reset() because reset() resets the entire system.
