Instruction Manual B-63
T—Indicates a button which pops up a selection list with output
translation. The number of the option selected is used as an index
into the translation table to generate an output string.
N—Indicates a button which only sends the subsequent command
to the instrument. No user-prompting happens.
The following string through an optional ‘|’ or the end of the line is the
command which is to be sent to the instrument upon the completion
of the button selection. The command string should normally contain
print-style formatting to include the user input. If a ‘|’ is present, it
indicates a command which is sent to the instrument upon successful
completion of the button command to update the value field.
Some examples (‘\n’ is the C syntax for an end-of-line character):
‘Concentrations\n’
This is a single text-only line.
‘\n’
This is a single blank line.
‘ NO:3s\n’
This is a line which appears slightly indented. The text field is ‘NO’,
the value is taken from the third element of the data response, and
interpreted as a string.
‘ NO:18sBd.ddd;set no coef
%
s\n’
This is a line which also appears slightly indented. The next field is also
‘NO’, but the value is taken from the eighteenth element of the data
response, again interpreted as a string. A button appears on this line
which, when pressed, pops up an input dialog which will state “Please
enter a new value for NO using a d.ddd format.” The string entered by
the user is used to construct the output command. If the user enters, for
example, ‘1.234’, the constructed command will be ‘set no coef 1.234’.
‘ NO:21f{Code_0 Code_1 Code_2 Code_3 Code_4 Code_5 Code_6
Code_7 Code_8 Code_9 Code_10 Code_11}Lset range no
%
d\n’
This is a line which appears slightly indented, the title is again
‘NO’, and the value is the twenty-first element of the data response,
interpreted as a floating-point number. There is a no-translation button
which creates a selection list of twelve “Code nn” options. The number
of the user selection is used to create the output command.
‘Mode:6.12-13x{local remote service service}(0 1)Tset mode
%
s\n’
This is a line which has a title of ‘Mode’ and value taken from the
sixth field of the data response. There is a bitfield extraction of bits
12 through 13 from the source (the value type is not important here
because the value is being translated to an output string). Once the
