localnode.setglobal()

This function sets the value of a global variable.
Type TSP-Link accessible
Function Yes (see Details)
Usage
node[N].setglobal(name, value)
N
name
value
Details
From a remote node, use this function to create and assign the given value to a global variable.
Do not use this command to create or set the value of a global variable from the local node. It is provided for the
sole purpose of accessing global variables on a node from a remote master node. The localnode prefix to the
function listing describes how remote commands are shared between nodes, rather than this command being a
localnode command.
Example
node[3].setglobal("x", 5)

localnode.getglobal()

localnode.showerrors

This attribute sets whether or not the instrument automatically sends generated errors.
Type TSP-Link accessible
Attribute (RW) Yes
Usage
errorMode = localnode.showerrors
localnode.showerrors = errorMode
errorMode
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.
