2.3.6.1 Set Scope Attributes (#A)

The scope can display text with different attributes. Tunable parameters include the position, the refresh rate, the line intensity, the line type (solid to dotted), the character size, and character rotation. In addition, the scope beam can be turned on and off.

The default values for these attributes are as follows:

X position

0 (0-2047)

Y position

0 (0-2047)

Refresh

Line intensity

3:full (0:blank to 3:full)

Line type

0:solid (0:solid, 1:bright ends, 2:short dash, 3:long dash)

Beam status

1 (0:off or 1:on)

Refresh Rate

3 (0-6 milliseconds)

Text size

1 (0-3)

Text rotation

0 degrees (0:0, 1:90, 2:180, or 3:270 degrees)

Set Scope Attributes

Class:

Scope

Code:

#A

Syntax:

#A[ [Xx | Yy | Iintensity | Llinetype | Obeamstate | Trefresh | Ssize | Rrotation ]
x and y are integers from 0 to 2047
refresh is an integer from 0 to 6
intensity is an integer from 0 to 3
linetype is an integer from 0 to 3
size is an integer from 0 to 3
rotation is an integer from 0 to 3
beamstate is either 0 or 1 Note that the syntax definition allows the specification of as many attributes as you like in any order. If the same attribute is specified more than once, the last occurrence is used.

System:

Sends the display parameters to the scope.

Requires:

Obviously, this command requires that scope be set up and properly interfaced to the client.

Test Files:

`SCOP_T01.IN'

tests basic operation

Examples:

input

#A[X10,Y10,I1,L3,O1,T6,S2,R2]#U[50,hi there]

cogsys

Sets the scope to display the next characters at position (10,10), with weak intensity, long dashed lines, with beam on, refresh rate of 6 ms, size 2, and written at 180 degrees. Then displays `hi there' with the specified attributes for 50 milliseconds.
