localnode.setup.save()
Usage
To save to the internal memory location, send no parameters with function:
localnode.setup.save()
To save to the USB flash drive:
localnode.setup.save(location)
location: Setup location to save. Use the format "/usb1/<filename>" where
<filename> is the name of the desired file contained on a USB flash drive. The
location must include the /usb1/. If it includes a file extension, it must be .set. If no
extension is provided, .set will be appended automatically to filename. The .set file
extension is used on front panel to identify setup files to load from thumb drive.
Remarks
This function overwrites any previous values with the present setup.

localnode.setup.recall() (on page 13-216)
Example
To save the present setup as the internal user setup:
localnode.setup.save()
To save a user saved setup to a file named KEITHLEY_3730 on a USB flash drive:
localnode.setup.save("/usb1/KEITHLEY_3730")
localnode.showerrors
Attribute
Automatic display of errors.
Usage
To read the show errors state:
errormode = localnode.showerrors
To write the show errors state:
localnode.showerrors = errormode
errormode: Set to 0 or 1.
Remarks
If this attribute is set to 1, for any errors that are generated, the unit will
automatically display the errors stored in the error queue, and then clear the
queue. Errors will be processed at the end of executing a command message (just
prior to issuing a prompt if prompts are enabled).
If this attribute is set to 0, errors will be left in the error queue and must be explicitly
read or cleared.
When used in an expanded system (TSP-Link
TM
), localnode.showerrors is sent to
the Remote Master node only. Use node[N].showerrors (where N is the node
number) to send the command to any node in the system.
Details
See errorqueue functions and attributes (on page 13-176).
