IEEE Std 488.2 prompting mode:
Disable prompting:
localnode.DISABLE
Enable prompting:
localnode.ENABLE
Details
When this attribute is enabled, the IEEE Std 488.2 common commands generate prompts if
prompting is enabled with the
localnode.prompts
attribute. If
localnode.prompts4882
is
enabled, limit the number of
*trg
commands sent to a running script to 50 regardless of the setting
of the
localnode.prompts
attribute.
When this attribute is disabled, IEEE Std 488.2 common commands will not generate prompts. When
using the
*trg
command with a script that executes
trigger.wait()
repeatedly, disable
prompting to avoid problems associated with the command interface input queue filling.
Example
localnode.prompts4882 = localnode.DISABLE
Disables IEEE Std 488.2 common command
prompting.
