Message Display Attributes
Field Description
ASYNC Determines how messages are displayed in the message display area:
ON Messages are displayed on arrival without operator intervention.
OFF Messages are displayed when the operator next interacts with the command
entry. This only affects asynchronous commands and unsolicited messages.
WRAP Determines how messages are displayed in the message display area once the
capture buffer is full:
ON When the capture buffer limit (MAX CAP value) is reached, Command Entry
continues to add new messages to the capture buffer, forcing the oldest
messages out.
OFF When the capture buffer limit is reached, the message CAPTURE BUFFER IS
FULL appears, and new messages are discarded.
SCROLL Determines how messages are scrolled in the message display area:
ON The latest screenful of most recently received messages is displayed. For
example, if a command results in 100 lines of response messages, and the
message display area can display 24 lines, the last 24 lines of the response
are displayed.
OFF The earliest screenful of most recently received messages is displayed. For
example, if a command results in 100 lines of response messages, and the
message display area can display 24 lines, the first 24 lines of the response
are displayed.
MAX CAP Determines how many lines the capture buffer can hold before the WRAP option
takes effect. The default is 1000; the maximum is 9999.
