Set Interrupt Handling

Tools Supported: FlexTest

Scope: All modes

Usage

SET INterrupt Handling [OFf ON]

Description

Specifies how FlexTest interprets a Control-C interrupt.

The Set Interrupt Handling command controls the tool’s ability to place a command in a suspended state.

By default, if you enter a Control-C during the execution of a command, FlexTest aborts the command process and there is no way for you resume; if you desire to complete the interrupted command, you must start it from the beginning.

Once you enable suspend-state interrupt handling, a Control-C no longer abruptly aborts a command process. Rather, FlexTest places the command in a suspended state so that you can check the status or make minor adjustments to the suspended command and then either abort or resume the suspended command. The following lists the commands that you can issue while a command is in suspend-state:

∙	Help	∙	Set Gate Level
∙	All Report commands	∙	Set Gate Report
∙	Set Abort Limit	∙	Set Logfile Handling
∙	Set Atpg Limits	∙	Save Patterns
∙	Set Checkpoint	∙	All Write commands

∙Set Fault Mode

If you turn interrupt handling on, you can either abort the process using the Abort Interrupted Process command or continue the process using the Resume Interrupted Process command.
