                    -name probe_name \
                    -value true|false \
                    -group_name group_bus_name \
                    -group_value "hex-value" | "binary-value"

Arguments


Parameter	Type	Description
deviceName	string	Parameter is optional if only one device is available in the current configuration.
name	string	Specifies the name for the target probe point. Cannot be a search pattern.
value	boolean	Specifies values to be written. True = High, False = Low.
group_name	string	Specify the group or bus name to write to complete group or bus.
group_value	string	Specify the value for the complete group or bus. Hex-value format : "<size>'h<value>" Binary-value format: "<size>'b<value>"


Return Type	Description
None	None

Error Codes


Error Code	Description
None	Parameter 'group_value' has illegal value.
None	Active probe value must be specified.
None	Parameter 'group_name' has illegal value.
None	Parameter 'value' has illegal value.
None	Parameter 'name' has illegal value.
None	Parameter 'param_name' is not defined. Valid command formatting is'write_active_probe [-deviceName "device name"] \[-name "Probe point name"]* \[-value "TRUE \| FALSE"]* \[-group_name "Group or Bus Name"]* \[-group_value "Group or Bus value"]* \[-silent "TRUE \| FALSE"]'.

Example

This example writes to a single probe.

write_active_probe –name out[5]:out[5]:Q –value true

This example writes to a probe in the group:

write_active_probe -name grp1.out[3]:out[3]:Q -value "low"

This example writes the value to complete group:

write_active_probe -group_name grp1 –group_value “8’hF0”

This example writes multiple probes at the same time:

write_active_probe -group_name out \
                   -group_value “8’b11110000” \
                   -name out[2]:out[2]:Q \
                   -value true
