Section 7: TSP command reference

Details
If this attribute is set to
1
, the instrument automatically sends any generated errors stored in the error
queue, and then clears the queue. Errors are processed after executing a command message (just
before issuing a prompt, if prompts are enabled).
If this attribute is set to
0
, errors are left in the error queue and must be explicitly read or cleared.
When using this command from a remote node,
localnode
should be replaced with the node
reference, for example,
node[5].showerrors
.
Example
localnode.showerrors = 1
Enables sending of generated errors.

Details
This function is useful for aliasing attributes to improve execution speed. Calling the function created
with
makegetter()
executes faster than accessing the attribute directly.
Creating a getter function is only useful if it is going to be called several times. Otherwise, the
overhead of creating the getter function outweighs the overhead of accessing the attribute directly.
Example
getlevel = makegetter(smua.source, "levelv")
v = getlevel()
Creates a getter function called
getlevel
.
When
getlevel()
is called, it returns the value of
smua.source.levelv
.
