Thermal2 Command
sys fault (warning|shutdown|fatal) [<number>]

Variables number The number of warning / shutdown / fatal faults to generate.

Description Generate warning, shutdown and fatal faults to test fault handling in both the exposure head and the host.

Warning faults do not abort the plot or shutdown the exposure head. Warning faults are returned to the host as an unsolicited warning fault.

Shutdown faults abort the plot and shutdown the exposure head ( leaving the TEC's enabled ). Shutdown faults are returned to the host as an unsolicited fatal fault.

Fatal faults abort the plot and shutdown the exposure head ( disabling the TEC's ). Fatal faults are returned to the host as an unsolicited fatal fault.
