Coordinating overlapped operations in remote groups
Errors occur if you send a command to a node in a remote group running an
overlapped operation. All nodes in a group must be in the overlapped idle state
before the master node can send a command to the group.
Use the waitcomplete command to:
Group leader and master node: To wait for all overlapped operations
running in the local group to complete
Master node only: To wait for all overlapped operations running on a
remote group to complete on the TSP-Link
TM
network
Master node only: To wait for all groups to complete overlapped operations
For additional information, see waitcomplete() (on page 3-16).
The following code is an example on how to issue the waitcomplete
command from the master node:
-- Waits for each node in group N to complete all
overlapped operations.
waitcomplete(N)
-- Waits for all groups on the TSP-Link network to complete
overlapped operations.
waitcomplete(0)
The group leader can issue the waitcomplete command to wait for the local
group to complete all overlapped operations.
The following code is an example of how to issue the waitcomplete
command:
-- Waits for all nodes in a local group to complete all
overlapped operations.
