Instrument Control Toolbox

The UDP Object Display

The UDP object provides you with a convenient display that summarizes important configuration and state information. You can invoke the display summary these three ways:

• Type the UDP object variable name at the command line.
• Exclude the semicolon when creating a UDP object.
• Exclude the semicolon when configuring properties using the dot notation.

You can also display summary information via the Workspace browser by right-clicking an instrument object and selecting Explore -> Display Summary from the context menu.

The display summary for the UDP object u is given below.
