display
The functions and attributes in this group are used for various display operations, which are
explained in
.
display.clear
Function
Clears all lines of the display.
TSP-Link
accessibility
This function can be accessed from a remote TSP-Link node.
Usage
display.clear()
Remarks
•
This function will switch to the user screen and then clear the display.
•
The
display.clear()
,
display.setcursor()
, and
display.settext()
functions
are overlapped, non-blocking commands. That is, the script will NOT wait for one of these
commands to complete. These non-blocking functions do not immediately update the display.
For performance considerations, they write to a shadow and will update the display as soon
as processing time becomes available.

display.getannunciators
Function
Reads the indicators that are presently turned on.
TSP-Link
accessibility
This function can be accessed from a remote TSP-Link node.
Usage
annun = display.getannunciators()
annun
Returns the bitmap value for indicators that are active.
Remarks
• This function returns a bitmap value that indicates which indicators are turned on. The 16-bit
binary equivalent of the returned value is the bitmap. For example, assume the returned value is
1028. The binary equivalent for this value is as follows:
0000010000000100
• The above bitmap indicates that bits 3 and 11 are set. From the chart below, bit 3 and bit 11
corresponds to the indicators that are turned on (
4W
and
REM
). Notice that the sum of the
weighted values for bits 3 and 11 is the returned value (1028).
