Details
This command waits for a user response to the prompt. You can use the text to ask questions that
can be used to configure your test. The prompt is displayed until it has been responded to by the
user. You can only send one input prompt command at a time.
Example
result = display.input.prompt(display.BUTTONS_YESNO, "Do you want to display the
graph screen?")
if result == display.BUTTON_YES then
display.changescreen(display.SCREEN_GRAPH)
end
This displays the prompt "Do you want to display the graph screen?" on the front-panel display:
If the operator selects
Yes
, the graph screen is displayed.
