display.waitevent()
This function causes the instrument to wait for a user to respond to a prompt that was created with a prompt
command.
Type TSP-Link accessible
Affected by Where saved Default value
Function
Yes
Usage
objectID, subID = display.waitevent()
objectID, subID = display.waitevent(timeout)
objectID
A number that identifies the object, such as a prompt message, that is displayed on
the front panel
subID
The returned value after a button is pressed on the front panel:
• display.BUTTON_YES
• display.BUTTON_NO
• display.BUTTON_OK
• display.BUTTON_CANCEL
timeout
The amount of time to wait before timing out; time is 0 to 300 s, where the default of
0 waits indefinitely
Details
This command waits until a user responds to a front-panel prompt that was created with the
display.prompt() command.
Example
reset()
trigger.model.load("SimpleLoop", 10, 0, defbuffer1)
display.prompt(display.BUTTONS_YESNO, "Would you like to make 10 DC voltage
readings now?")
promptID, result = display.waitevent()
if result == display.BUTTON_YES then
trigger.model.initiate()
end
display.prompt(display.BUTTONS_YESNO, "Would you like to switch to the Graph
screen?")
promptID, result = display.waitevent()
if result == display.BUTTON_YES then
display.changescreen(display.SCREEN_GRAPH)
end
Create a simple loop that will make 10 measurements and save them in default buffer 1.
Display the prompt "Would you like to make 10 DC voltage readings now?"
If the user presses Yes, the measurements are made.
If the user presses No, the measurements are not made and the message is removed.
Display the prompt "Would you like to switch to the Graph screen?"
If the user presses Yes, the Graph screen is displayed.
If the user presses No, the user remains on the present screen.
