display
The functions and attributes in this group are used for various display operations, which are
explained in
Section 11.
display.clear
Function Clears all lines of the display.
TSP-Link
accessibility
This function can be accessed from a remote TSP-Link node.
Usage display.clear()
Remarks • This function will switch to the user screen and then clear the display.
•The display.clear(), display.setcursor(), and display.settext() functions
are overlapped, non-blocking commands. That is, the script will NOT wait for one of these
commands to complete. These non-blocking functions do not immediately update the display.
For performance considerations, they write to a shadow and will update the display as soon
as processing time becomes available.
Details See Clearing the display in Section 11.
Also see display.setcursor, display.settext
display.getannunciators
Function Reads the indicators that are presently turned on.
TSP-Link
accessibility
This function can be accessed from a remote TSP-Link node.
Usage annun = display.getannunciators()
annun Returns the bitmap value for indicators that are active.
Remarks • This function returns a bitmap value that indicates which indicators are turned on. The 16-bit
binary equivalent of the returned value is the bitmap. For example, assume the returned value is
1028. The binary equivalent for this value is as follows:
0000010000000100
• The above bitmap indicates that bits 3 and 11 are set. From the chart below, bit 3 and bit 11
corresponds to the indicators that are turned on (4W and REM). Notice that the sum of the
weighted values for bits 3 and 11 is the returned value (1028).
Details See Indicators in Section 11.
