Usage
244 VT1422A Command Reference
ALGorithm[:EXPLicit]:SCALar '<alg_name>','<var_name>',<value>
value of the scalar variable <var_name> for algorithm <alg_name> into the Update
Queue. This update is then pending until ALG:UPD is sent or an update event (as set
by ALG:UPD:CHANNEL) occurs.
ALG:SCALAR places a variable update request in the Update Queue.
Do not place more update requests in the Update Queue than are allowed by the
current setting of ALG:UPD:WINDOW or a "Too many updates – send
ALG:UPDATE command" error message will be generated.
Parameter Parameter
Name Type
alg_name string
var_name string
value numeric (float32)
•
To send values to a global scalar variable, set the <alg_name> parameter to
'GLOBALS'. To define a scalar global variable see the ALGorithm:DEFine
command.
•
An error is generated if <alg_name> or <var_name> is not defined.
•
Related Commands: ALG:DEFINE, ALG:SCAL?, ALG:UPDATE
