How To Use Conditions And Protocols
After you define one or more protocols, return to the CST Manager to create a
new entry available for editing. Select
Response from the Mode drop-down
list. In the Input field, enter the data on which the response should be
triggered. Right-click the Output field, and select the desired protocol from the
pop-up menu.
You can enter prefixes and suffixes, and these will be sent with the defined
output of the protocol. For example, if the output is defined as
pre
suf , and the On_Empty condition is met, then pre 1 suf will be the
response.
A protocol displays with the protocol icon over a light red background with the
mnemonic
ptc . To see protocol details, i.e. name and interface, hover the
pointer over the protocol icon in the Output field to display a screen tip.
