Measure Reference Manual

ALL
lists all Measure keywords (commands, objects, and attributes) by category and provides a
guide to more specific help topics. Issuing HELP with no parameters is the same as issuing HELP
ALL.
Usage Notes
• You cannot abbreviate the help topic. For example, you must enter HELP START
MEASUREMENT, not HELP START MEASU.
• A double prompt (++) signals that more information is available for a topic. Press Return (or
any other key) to see the additional information. Press Ctrl-Y or type BREAK at the double
prompt to return to command entry.
Examples
• To get information about the SET command:
+ HELP SET
The SET command can operate on the PLOT and REPORT objects.
SET's function is to change the value of the attribute
specified to the value entered. Each time MEASCOM is
started, the PLOT and REPORT objects are initialized to
default values. These values can be changed by using the SET
command, or can be temporarily changed by setting the
attribute on the LIST (LISTALL, and LISTACTIVE) command. In
this case the value is changed only for the duration of the
command.
For specific command syntax perform:
HELP SET PLOT
HELP SET REPORT
• To get the syntax of the SET PLOT command:
+ HELP SET PLOT
SET [ PLOT ] <plot attribute> <value> [, <plot attribute>
<value> ]...
See HELP PLOT for <plot attribute> and <value>.
• To identify the entities that use a READY-TIME counter and get an explanation of the meaning
of the counter:
+ HELP READY-TIME
CPU Report:
Time processes were executing or waiting on the ready list.
Counter type: Queue
Process Report:
Time this process was executing or waiting on the ready list.
Counter type: Busy
• To display information about Measure error 3014:
+ HELP 3014
Cause: A three-digit sequence-id is added to LOADID to
designate each interval of the measurement, when
"LISTALL" is used. It is suppressed if 3 characters
are not available for use.
Result: Sequencing is suppressed.
Recovery: Use 5 or fewer characters for LOADID.
