Editing the EMS Analyzer Custom Configuration File

From the installation of EMS Analyzer, a custom configuration file (EMSACSTM) is

created. If this file is located in your default subvolume, it will be read each time you

execute EMS Analyzer program command, EMSA. This file can be used to pre-

configure your session parameters. Use the ALIAS

facility of EMS Analyzer to create

shortcut commands for often invoked commands as desired. You can also set up function

keys to invoke some of EMS Analyzer commands. For example, the F1 function key is

defined as the INFO command. Each time you press the F1 function key, EMS Analyzer

interprets this key as the INFO command and executes this command.

For a sample of an EMSACSTM file, refer to Appendix C, EMSACSTM File

Once you have used EMS Analyzer a few times, you will have some preferences that

you can put in the EMS Analyzer custom file. Use the VOLUME

command to be

positioned into the subvolume where the EMS Analyzer custom file (EMSACSTM) was

installed:

1> volume $volume.subvol

Edit the file EMSACSTM by using EDIT or TEDIT, and then run EMS Analyzer.

Guidelines

The EMSACSTM file must be on the default subvolume of the current user ID or you

can use a TACL ASSIGN command to point to this file if it is located on a different

subvolume (see Section 2, Installation).
