Clear Log

Effects of errors on scripts
Most errors will not abort a running script. The only time a script is aborted is when a Lua run-time
(event code -286, "TSP runtime error") is detected. Run-time events are caused by actions such as
trying to index into a variable that is not a table.
Syntax errors (event code -285, "Program syntax") in a script or command will prevent execution of
the script or command.
Resets
There are several types of resets in the Model DMM7510.
In general, the terms "reset," "instrument reset," and "system reset" refer to the reset that is
performed when you send the
*RST
or
reset()
command, or when you select
MENU > System >
Info/Manage > System Reset
from the front panel. It resets most commands to their default values.
Refer to the command descriptions for specifics on which commands are reset by system reset and
the default values.
The instrument also responds to other types of resets. These resets include:
•
DMM reset:
This reset is only available if you are using the TSP command set. The
dmm.reset()
function resets any commands that begin with
dmm.
to their default values. Refer
