not supported - you must specify the full name.
You can also set setup properties from the comamand line, but be sure to enclose strings in double quotes. For instance to
change M1's measurement interval to one minute you would enter:
SET M1.INTERVAL "00:01:00"
Setup properties will sometimes infer what you intend. For instance, while the measurement interval does not belong to an
output, if you specify it as such it will handle it (ie: M1.O1.Interval). In that case we were just typing more than we needed
do as we could have just specified (M1.Interval). Where inferences come in real handy is with output tags, because for
instance you can change the interval of a measurement that contains a tag named "STAGE" by specifying "STAGE.Interval".
Inferencing is especially import when working with Muxes, and makes making mass changes much easier. For instance
entering the command 'SET MUXA.INTERVAL "00:01:00"' will change the measurement interval for every measurement that
is associated with MuxA. Attempting to GET or SHOW MUXA.INTERVAL however, is not supported as it refers to multiple
points.
Because numerous changes may be made at once, they are not instantly saved to disk. Rather they are saved after 5
seconds of inactivity, 30 total seconds, or during an orderly shutdown. Setup properties are stored in the setup file.
In some situations an attempt to set a setup property may fail (and much more rarely a get may fail as well). If you are
positive you entered the correct syntax, you may wish to wait a bit and try again. The issue here is that setup properties
may not be changed while the setup is being saved or when they are being actively used. The system will generally wait 2-6
seconds for access to a property to become available before giving up and reporting a failure. In some cases, recording may
even be toggled in an attempt to make a change that cannot otherwise be made without doing so
