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 <Series-1>

suf

, and the On_Empty condition is met, then

pre 1<CR> 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.
