A Send I/O Table operation is used to send the content of the output buffer to the device. After the Send operation, the Output buffer is cleared and the pointer placed at the beginning of the buffer.
To display the Send Properties window, first select the Send I/O Table operation from the I/O Operation View. Then, open the Properties window for the operation by selecting Properties from the View menu.
The following fields are available:
Select Send as the I/O Table operation type. For more information on available operations, see I/O Table Operations.
Select one of the following terminator characters to be sent after the Output buffer is transmitted:
● Default. Uses the character specified as the default by the driver interface's Property pages.
● CR/LF. Carriage Return and Line Feed characters.
● CR. Carriage Return is sent.
● LF. Line Feed is sent.
● , . Comma is sent.
● None. No terminator character is sent.
You can also enter your own terminator character as an escape sequence quoted string or characters. For more information, see Escape Sequence String.
Select or enter a value in milliseconds which represent the amount of time the operation waits for data before timing out. Selecting Default uses the value defined in the driver's I/O Tables Property page. Selecting Forever means that the operation does not time out and ATEasy will wait until it completes. Caution: this can hang the application forever.
Select the action to perform during an error:
● Default. Performs the action specified in the driver's I/O Tables Property page.
● Ignore. The operation ignores the error and continues to the next statement.
● Report. Report specifies the ATEasy default error handling. Generates recoverable run-time error that can be trapped using OnError module event or try/catch statements. If not trapping is done, the error is reported to the user and to the log control. The user can then select to Abort the application, Retry to repeat the I/O Table or Ignore to continue to the next statement.
