Script Files

xxxxxx.scr

The control system accepts commands either from the DTMF decoder or through the

serial port on othe main CPU board. A simple program like HyperTerm can be

connected to the serial port and you can simply type in commands and look at the

results on your screen. Serial port settings are 9600 baud, N81. To make it more

convenient to send several commands to the control system, you can create an ascii text

file called a script file. The script file is simply raw commands that the control system

will understand.

For exampe:

C2011D

C20212345

C000

Which will assign port 0 to be a repeater, port 1,2,3,4,5 to be links and then do a system

resest.

These are called “script” files becauses in addition to the raw command strings the

control system understands, you can insert special commands that the script processor

will interpret and not pass on to the control system. These are either comments or script

processing directives.

Comments start with a single quote ’ just like in a configuration file.

Script processing directives all start with a forward slash / like the switches in the

configuration file.

Script processing directives set the rate at which data is transmitted to the controller,

and various other parameters.

Scripts are executed from the first line to the last. There is no notion of flow control or

other more advanced programming features.

You can load up to 10 of your favorite script files in the main window of the config

program. You can simplly click the edit button to change them or click the run button to

start running them.
