makesetter
Creates a function to set the value of an attribute.
Function
Usage
setter = makesetter(table, attributename)
table
attributename
setter
Remarks • This function creates a function that when called sets the value of the attribute. This
function is useful for aliasing attributes to improve execution speed. Calling the
setter
• Creating a setter function is only useful if it is going to be called several times.
Otherwise the overhead of creating the setter function outweighs the overhead of
accessing the attribute directly.
Creates a
Example
setlevel = makesetter(smua.source, "levelv")
for v = 1, 10 do
setlevel(v)
end
Using setlevel in the loop sets the value of smua.source.levelv, thereby
performing a source sweep.
opc function
This function sets the OPC bit in the status register when all overlapped commands are
completed.
opc
Function Sets the Operation Complete status bit when all overlapped commands are completed.
Usage
opc()
Remarks • This function will cause the Operation Complete bit in the Standard Event Status Register
to be set when all previously started local overlapped commands are
complete. Note that each node will independently set their Operation Complete bits in
their own status models.
• Any nodes not actively performing overlapped commands will set their bits
immediately. All remaining nodes will set their own bits as they complete their own
overlapped commands.
