Automation Command
Description
Memdump 
Set the memory dump file name.
Reset
Resets the simulation, see also Section 3.1, 
“Tool Bar Buttons”, on page 7. 
CreatedDevices
Lists all created devices.
AddDevice 
Creates a device and adds the device to the 
device window at position (x, y). „x‟ and „y‟ are 
pixel coordinates inside the device window. 
Connections 
Lists all connections that a device has.
Connect 
[Device Name2] [connect point2] 
Connects „Device Name1‟ and „Device Name2‟ 
using „connect point1‟ and „connect point2‟. 
AvailablePorts 
Lists available ports of device „Device Name‟.
Disconnect 
Disconnects all connections of device „Device 
Name‟. 
DeleteDevice 
Deletes device „Device Name‟ from simulated 
system and removes it from device window. 
KnownDevices
Lists all devices that are known by the 
simulator. These devices are stored in 
„devices\‟. 
MoveDevice 
Moves the specified device „Device Name‟ to 
x/y coordinates in device window. This 
command only work when GUI mode is active. 
New
Creates a new BSD file.
Location
Returns the location/postion (x, y) of the device 
'y' are pixel coordinates inside the device 
window. 
For
example,
Location
"USB
JumpDrive" returns "USB JumpDrive" 152 382 
where 152 is the 'x' coordinate and 382 is the 'y' 
coordinate. 
DumpRegistry
Displays all information stored in SimNow‟s 
registry. 
SetMPQuantum
Sets the time in nanoseconds for a CPU before 
switching to next CPU in a MP system. 
Modifying the MP Quantum might have a huge 
impact on the simulated MP system. 
GetMPQuantum
Returns the current MP Quantum value (see also 
SetMPQuantum). 
GDB -d [[udp|tcp][::] [
Sets up the simulators gdb interface. The default 
protocol is tcp and the default port is 2222. If 
you don't define any parameters the default 
protocol and port will be used. You can override 
tcp with udp. The following example shows 
how to override the default protocol and port 
parameters: "shell.gdb udp::2233". 
The host parameter [::] can't be changed it is 
always set to localhost. For more information 
please refer to Section 11.2, "GDB Interface", 
on page 152.
