Terminal

The Terminal screen allows the execution of all XPS controller functions. It also
provides a convenient method for generating executable TCL scripts. For more details
about TCL scripts, see Features Manual.
To execute a function from the Terminal, do the following:
1. Click to select a function, which then appears in the "API to execute" window.
2. Define the arguments for the function.
• For functions with dynamic arguments "ADD BLOCK" and "REMOVE BLOCK"
buttons are available. Alternatively, you can use a "," as a separator between
different arguments.
• For some arguments like ExtendedEventName, ExtendedActionName or
GatheringType, the argument name is not directly accessible. In these cases, define
the first part of the argument name, then click in the field again and define the
second part of the argument name. See the example below for defining the
GatheringType with the function GatheringConfigurationSet():
Step 1:
Click "SELECT EXTERNAL GATHERING" then select the positioner name and
click "OK".
Step 2:
Click "SELECT EXTERNAL GATHERING" again then select the parameter
name and click "OK".
