5.1.1.3 Communication Port
Multiple EtsMains can run concurrently as long as they are connected to different communication ports including
Serial and USB. This option overrides the port specification in the system configuration for etsmain.
The port specifier identifies the communication port to be used. The serial ports COM1 through COM12 and
USB can be used. The acceptable formats are.
/Port=2
/Port=COM2
/Port=USB2
5.1.1.4 Window Mode
The ETS program can be opened in three different Window modes: Normal, Minimize, and Hidden.
/WinMode=Norm This is the default
/WinMode=Min ETS appears in a minimized state.
/WinMode=Hide ETS will not be visible at all.
5.1.1.5 Defines
/D=<define>
This option is used to start specific ETS configurations from the command line. The define text is used as
though it were specified in the Defines dialog. The define will not appear in the Defines dialog nor will it be
saved in the registry as would the normal defines. The following example would cause ETS to be loaded in the
lite mode without the signaling messages being decoded.
EtsMain.exe -d=lite -d=DONT_DECODE_OTA_MSGS
5.1.1.6 Save Definitions
/SaveDefs=<filename>
This option saves the definitions to a file and then terminates ETS. It is intended to support automatic
generation of specific message definition sets. The following example would cause ETS to be loaded in the lite
mode without the signaling messages defined, doing a full syntax check, generate a new definition file and then
terminate.
EtsMain.exe –s -d=lite -d=DONT_DECODE_OTA_MSGS -savedefs=c:\temp\etsmsg.txt
5.1.1.7 Lock Configuration
/LockConfig
Prevents the user from selecting a different configuration file.
5.1.2 Lite Mode Of Operation
ETS program can be run in Full or Lite Mode. Full mode loads all commands, spies, and traces. Lite mode loads
only the specified commands, spies, and traces in the text files. The lite mode is enabled in the configuration
defines under “Lite Message Set”. This will cause a “LITE” define to occur.
To have a message be included in the Lite mode, add “lite” at the 5th field of the message id definition in the
following enuerations:
ETS Id
CP SpyIds
CP TraceIds
DSPM TraceIds
