Details
This attribute controls prompting. When set to
1
, prompts are issued after each command message is processed
by the instrument. When set to
0
, prompts are not issued.
The command messages do not generate prompts. The instrument generates prompts in response to command
messages.
When the prompting mode is enabled, the instrument generates prompts in response to command messages.
There are three prompts that might be generated:
•
TSP>
is the standard prompt. This prompt indicates that everything is normal and the command is done
processing.
•
TSP?
is issued if there are entries in the error queue when the prompt is issued. Like the TSP> prompt,
it indicates the command is done processing. It does not mean the previous command generated an
error, only that there are still errors in the queue when the command was done processing.
•
>>>>
is the continuation prompt. This prompt is used when downloading scripts. When downloading
scripts, many command messages must be sent as a unit. The continuation prompt indicates that the
instrument is expecting more messages as part of the current command.
NOTE
Test Script Builder requires prompts. It sets the prompting mode behind the scenes. If you disable
prompting, using Test Script Builder will cause the instrument to stop responding because it is waiting
for the prompt that lets it know that the command is done executing. Do not disable prompting when
using Test Script Builder.
When using this command from a remote node,
localnode
should be replaced with the node reference, for
example
node[5].prompts
.
Example
localnode.prompts = 1
Enable prompting.
