Use this command to send a pSOS signal to one or several processes. Use it during development of application software.

| Command Format | CPM / D20 / D25: | vp (pid name) event |
| |
|
| CCU / CCUME: | vp (pid gpid name) event |

|
|
| |
| Parameters | pid | = pSOS process ID (in hexadecimal); send the |
| |
|
|
| signal to a specific process. |
| |
|
| gpid | = global pSOS process ID (in hexadecimal); send |
| |
|
|
| the signal to a specific process. |
| |
|
| name | = |
