Nlynx ETU400 manual Recalling ETU Commands, Request Definitions

Recalling ETU Commands

If you run the same ETU command more than once, you can avoid re-keying repeated values by using the recall function. The recall function displays the most recently run command on the ETU command line.

To recall a command, press F9. You can then change whatever information you want by typing over it. You can cycle through and recall any command you entered since you accessed the ETU menu (WSMENUS) by repeatedly pressing F9. Upon exiting ETU, all references to previously-entered commands is lost to future executions of WSMENUS.

Another way to re-use previously-entered commands is by saving and re-using request definitions.

Request Definitions

Some ETU commands (FROM3XB, PCFROMPC, PCTOPC, PWRFROM3XB, PWRTO3XB, and TO3XB) support savable request definitions. A request definition is the information you provide to ETU to run a command. For example, if you transfer a file from the host to the micro using the FROM3XB command, the request definition is the summation of the values you entered for each parameter.

The commands that support savable request definitions (listed above) contain a parameter called SAVRQS (save request). This parameter allows you to save the command request for the transfer operation that you are currently performing. To save the definition of a command request, enter *YES as the value in the SAVRQS parameter. Then supply a name for the request. The request name may be up to ten characters long.

To replay any request definition you have previously saved, use the ETU command VWSAVRQS (view save request). The VWSAVRQS command is covered in Chapter 9, Advanced ETU Features and Chapter 10, ETU Command Reference.

NOTE: When you save a PWRFROM3XB request definition, note that special values shouldn't be used in the Comparison Value prompt in the Record Selection parameter. See PWRFROM3XB command in Chapter 10, Command Reference for more details on the special values.
