Arguments
CURsor — curren
tly this is the only button supported by this command. If the
hold time is not specified, it defaults to 1200 milliseconds. The range is 0 to
10,000 milliseconds. The system expects a minimum of 1 second to recognize a
hold.
<NR1> (optional), an integer, is the hold time — ie. the time to emulate holding
the button down before releasing it, in milliseconds. If the hold time is not
specified, it defaults to 1200 milliseconds.
Examples
FPAnel:HOLD CURsor — This simulates pressing and holding the CURSOR
button for 1200 milliseconds.
FPAnel:PRESS (No Query Form)
Simulates the action of pressing a specified front-panel button.
When the front panel is locked, the front-panel button and multipurpose
knob operations are suspended. The
FPAnel:PRESS and the FPAnel:TURN
commands will also not work. You can work around this by using the appropriate
programmatic interface commands, instead of the front-panel commands.
