Chapter 6: Understanding the File System
The majority of the .hp3070 file contains definitions for
the operator keypad, which are invoked by an operator
statement if the Operator.ForceWidgets option is set
to Yes (see Syntax Reference). When a set of labels is
specified in the operator statement — for example,
operator waitforstart invokes the set of labels and
functions defined as waitforstart — that set of label
definitions becomes active. The boxes in the operator
keypad are labeled with those definitions, and selecting
a box (with the mouse or the touchscreen) invokes the
function associated with the label in that box.
If no label specifier is included in an operator
statement, the default label definition is determined by
the value of either of two variables in this file. The
Operator.Default variable sets the default for a user
who is not using a board handler with the system, and
the Operator.ABH_Default variable sets the default for
a user who is. The values of both of these variables are
typically defined as standard.
The label and function definitions are arranged into
groups that each contain three specifications:
■ A physical description of the operator keypad,
including the X and Y coordinates and how many
boxes should appear in the keypad.
■ What label (text) should appear in each box.
Labels can contain any combination of upper or
lowercase letters and are treated as lowercase
when invoked in an operator statement.
■ Which function is invoked by selecting a
particular box. Function names are case-sensitive.
For example, standard, which is the default definition
for the operator keypad, might look like the following:
Standard.Boxes: 8
Standard.X: 10
Standard.Y: 4
Standard.Columns: 8
Standard.Label1: start
Standard.Label2: yes
Standard.Label3: no
Standard.Label4: .
Standard.Label5: faon
Standard.Label6: faoff
Operator.Footswitch
This option lets you specify whether the foot switch on the Agilent 3070 is enabled. Specify Yes to have the foot switch
enabled, or No to have it disabled. For example, Operator.footswitch: Yes
