Host Communication String

Events

Event name (WaitForCommString "Text", "Count")

Event Properties

Begins a wait that is satisfied by the reception of the specified string from the host. The operation containing this event is paused until the wait expires or is satisfied.

For VT and character mode HP hosts, you can wait for datastream sequences that include nonprintable characters using the Model Debug Messages dialog box. As the terminal processes characters, you can copy and paste text into the Text box to configure operations that include raw host communications.

Notes:

Often the best synchronization for VT and HP is in the datastream itself. Coupled with the WaitForMultipleEvents command, it will enable you to be very deterministic about synchronization.
Use WaitForCommString only if you are connecting to your host using a host application that uses character mode rather than block mode. This applies to VT and HP character mode models only.
If you are connecting directly to a host, use WaitForDisplayString.
You can also record a login command list to determine which command is appropriate for your connection.

Event Parameters

Text	Argument type: String
	The string received from the host that can terminate the wait.

Count	Argument type: Numeric
	Specifies the number of times a string is received from the host. The default value is 1.
