I setup the advCombobox with the inlist, but the variable isn't working with it. I'm using TC V2.85.

I have a command in my initCmd to set the variable, and it works. I also have a command to test the variable:

Code: [Select]

#scpiCmd getActiveChans? none?
:readmath: CHsOn
Result of that command:

Code: [Select]

getActiveChans?
;; Magnova: Tx <getActiveChans?>
;; Magnova: Tx <none?>
;; Magnova: Rx <YNNN>
;; YNNN

We can see CHsOn exists and works, but TC still doesn't like it when I try to load Setup:

Code: [Select]

I know and that is nasty coding, a device is not supposed to do stuff to other devices popups!

A little nastiness is okay sometimes.

ETA: I gueeeess you could add a 2nd version of the SyncPopups command that would be device specific if you want. But, realistically, if I go and physically modify 3 devices on my workbench, it doesn't make me sad that I only need to click one button to sync them all (is that from Lord of the Rings?).

I could, but I do not see a need for it. You may not even know the correct handle for the your device (TC can change them).

Put adding a extra # statement in the definition to always update all control on mode change is fairly simple (I hope) and can be useful for some devices.

I don't really see a need for it either; I'm fine with the version I posted. I don't know if the button will be used that much, and it doesn't bother me that it updates all open popups. Hell, what if I forgot to update a different device, and the popup was outdated?

This device doesn't currently have any mode buttons either.

Thanks,
Josh

The command is used when TC generates a script to change settings in a device, that will not change a open popup.
TC collect all commands you send from menus and it has a option to turn them into a script.

[KungFuJosh]

Fair enough.

Did you see the issue in reply #5025? The variable isn't working with the advCombobox yet.

Thanks,
Josh

[flash2b]

Could you explain how a :updatemodechange: is related to logging ?

Is this because logging performs an askMode before logging starts?

And is this maybe the reason that logging does not start since all the updates take to much time? Maybe in v2.77 this was more relaxed and no more strict?

[HKJ]

Fair enough.

Did you see the issue in reply #5025? The variable isn't working with the advCombobox yet.

Strange, it did in my test.
Try adding the getVarList(2)

It is not supposed to be.

Is this because logging performs an askMode before logging starts?

And is this maybe the reason that logging does not start since all the updates take to much time? Maybe in v2.74 this was more relaxed and no more strict?

I wonder if the problem is one update, triggers another update and it takes a lot of time, due to all the updates.

[flash2b]

If there is a full refresh on mode change option, I will update my definitions so they can be part of a next release.

My setup menu renders in less than a second and I do not have an advanced laptop.

I wonder if the problem is one update, triggers another update and it takes a lot of time, due to all the updates.

It is nothing special, just a "Active Mode: Volt DC" and a radio button "200 V"  (assuming Volt DC mode)

getVarList(0) and getVarList(1) also stop cmdSetup from running now, but they do give a list of their respective variables in the debug log.

For this test I reduced the command to just this:

Code: [Select]

#cmdSetup advCombobox Memory_Depth Main
:read: :ACQ:MDEP?
:write: :ACQ:MDEP
:update: Memory_Depth
:string:
Auto blue - getVarList(2) - AUTo
Auto_Fast blue - - - AFASt
:tip: Enter desired memory depth. Note: values are restricted to active channel configurations.
Thanks,

I added that. It also wouldn't allow the cmdSetup dialog to pop up. Here's the error:

You have to pack it into:
return0(printLog(getVarList(2)))
to avoid the error and get a printout on the log.

Oops. Mindless copy/paste struck again.

That got rid of the error, and setup works, but no variables show at all for VarList 2. Switching to return0(printLog(getVarList(1))) does show the expected variables for VarList 1, also correct if I change it to 0.

But it works, I have tested it.

Wait a minute.....It works in the hot version, not in the regular version, oops!

Please try the hot. I have fixed it in the regular, but not uploaded anything yet.

It works!

Only thing is the inList requires commas, not spaces: inList(CHsOn,"YYNN,NNNY,NNYN,NYNN")

Now to finish adding the options I forgot. 

Thanks,
Josh

[HKJ]

Only thing is the inList requires commas, not spaces: inList(CHsOn,"YYNN,NNNY,NNYN,NYNN")

Inlist accept space comma semicolon and vertical bar as delimiter according to documentation and code.
In the code it directly specifies: String deli = "[|,; ]+";
If there is a 3. parameter it will override this default value.
It ignores upper/lower case differences.

[KungFuJosh]

I had it with spaces instead of commas, and it ignored everything after the first option. I changed it to commas, and now it works 100%. 🤷

Here's what's probably complete for the options:

Code: [Select]

5k gray - inList(CHsOn,"YYYN,YYYY,NYYY,NYYN,NYNY,YYNY,YNYY,NNYY") - 5000
10k - - inList(CHsOn,"YYNN,NNNY,NNYN,NYNN,YNYN,YNNY") - 10000
12.5k gray - inList(CHsOn,"YYYN,YYYY,NYYY,NYYN,NYNY,YYNY,YNYY,NNYY") - 12500
20k - - inList(CHsOn,"YNNN") - 20000
25k gray - inList(CHsOn,"YYNN,YYYN,YYYY,NYYY,NYYN,NYNY,YYNY,YNYY,NNYY,NNNY,NNYN,NYNN,YNYN,YNNY") - 25000
50k - - inList(CHsOn,"YNNN,YYNN,YYYN,YYYY,NYYY,NYYN,NYNY,YYNY,YNYY,NNYY,NNNY,NNYN,NYNN,YNYN,YNNY") - 50000
100k - - inList(CHsOn,"YNNN,YYNN,NNNY,NNYN,NYNN,YNYN,YNNY") - 100000
125k gray - inList(CHsOn,"YYYN,YYYY,NYYY,NYYN,NYNY,YYNY,YNYY,NNYY") - 125000
200k - - inList(CHsOn,"YNNN") - 200000

I had it with spaces instead of commas, and it ignored everything after the first option. I changed it to commas, and now it works 100%. 🤷

I tried this on the command line:
=inList("YNYN","YYNN YYYN YYYY NYYY NYYN NYNY YYNY YNYY NNYY NNNY NNYN NYNN YNYN YNNY")
and it worked.

My best guess is that you have som TAB characters instead of spaces. I have added that to the code now

No, just regular old spaces. But I did notice one difference: you have the list name in quotes, whereas I have it without quotes as:
inList(CHsOn,"variables,variables")

I am using the string directly, not a var, that is the reason for the quotes.
I could have used:
=var value="YNYN";
=inList(value,"YYNN YYYN YYYY NYYY NYYN NYNY YYNY YNYY NNYY NNNY NNYN NYNN YNYN YNNY")
it would be the same result.

Some editors will automatically optimize lines with TAB characters, personally I do not like that, because tab do not have a fixed column definition, it can vary with settings and programs.

I edit in Notepad++. It doesn't mess with me.

What you posted works, but it doesn't seem like the command line is too useful for testing this. If it can't read the real predefined variable (CHsOn), it's not really telling us enough. See attached.

Anyway, it doesn't really matter in this case as it works fine with commas.

I know about that editor, I uses EditPadPro, but have not updated in a long time.

What you posted works, but it doesn't seem like the command line is too useful for testing this. If it can't read the real predefined variable (CHsOn), it's not really telling us enough. See attached.

The command line is fine for testing on, but it cannot access any device related vars and there is also a few device related functions it cannot see.
You can invoke the script language two ways from the command line:
1) Start a line with =
2) Type #calc and hit enter, then the command line will switch to calculator/programming script mode, until it sees a # at the start of the line (It is still only working line based, i.e. a multi line statement is not possible).

Anyway, it doesn't really matter in this case as it works fine with commas.

That is correct, but I do not believe your statement about it not working. Something else must be wrong.

It appears that it only likes the solo YNNN (in the instances where it has no other options) when using spaces for this command. None of the options work here when spaces are included. Maybe there's something in the advComboboxHot code that's stopping it from working with spaces?

Thanks,

A new test version is up.
Both adv comboboxes now works with all vars.

To get a full varlist (Excluding global), this expression can be used:
return1(printLog("VarList:\n",getVarList(1),"\n",getVarList(2)))
It can be used anywhere in the definition where a expression is required to see what vars are accessible.

I added a #updateModeChange tag to the definitions, it will override all :updateModeChange: and do a full initialization of the popup instead.

[KungFuJosh]

The advanced combo boxes both work great for me with commas. Thanks!
