Apollo Rel. 1.9 User's Manual
11.1 Device command Interface
This Apollo component is available only if the TransForm A has been equipped with this soft-
ware component in the Visio file.
This component is provided on every operator workstation.
Device Command Interface is a WindowsNT/2000 application, which converts command line input to control
commands for the devices.
Start MS-DOS and enter the desired command behind the prompt. The general syntax is as follows:
devicecmd -name:<devname> {-<specifier>[:<value>]}
<devname> Complete device name (as depicted in the Tree View of the Device Manager).
<specifier> Name of a (usually device-specific) argument
<value> Value of an argument.
Apollo Rel. 1.6 supports the devices of the OverView D series, OverView-mP50, Atlas67C4, Atlas67CS4, At-
las84CS4, S70, BR6xxx, BG6xxx, Hermes D2D, Hermes V2A, Visu, Matrix Switcher and the Serial Interface.
The following table provides an overview over the device-specific commands and parameters:
