Parameters: either ID=VAL or ID
ID is a firmware dependent value which can range from 1 to QUAN_COPTCS, currently
4 (see table below). The value of VAL (when used) can range 0..254, but only legal
values will actually be stored into the ID slot. What values are legal for each specific ID
are detailed in the table below.
Description: Manipulate configuration items for new reboot. If the 'l' token is followed by just the ID
(see table below) then the current value of the service configuration entry is returned. If the parameter is of
the form ID=VAL, then the service configuration value is modified to the new value VAL, and the previous
value is returned (before modification) as though a simple query was sent. Allows setting of Service mode
reboot attributes akin to what the user can do via the Service menu screen, giving remote computer control
of the Test mode, Purge, Factory, etc. modes.
Returns:
Table of ID values and VAL values and their meanings.
ID# VAL Range Description
1 0..1 Test mode, set to true (1) if desire test mode. Default is 0, or false. Any non-zero
value for VAL when sending the l1=NNN message will be interpreted as TRUE and store a legal 1
value.That value can be later polled with a l1 query. When unit is rebooted, a TRUE setting will
be acted upon, and the TEST mode will be in effect until the next reset/reboot. The setting of the
configuration values is not 'sticky', meaning they are lost after reboot and need to be re-sent if
desired to take action again.
2 0..1 Make the SQ unit type act like Non-SQ (A) after rebooting. Like ID 1 above, any
non-zero VAL value is interpreted as TRUE.
3 0..1 Make the non-SQ unit type act as SEQ (B) after rebooting. Like ID 1 above, any
non-zero VAL value is interpreted as TRUE. NOTE: no more than one of the two ID 2 and 3
values above should be set to TRUE (1), since they are mutually contradictory. Both can be set to
FALSE (the default) since no action would then be taken during the next reboot. If both options
are set to TRUE, then the ID # 3 option (act like sequencing) has the priority, and the unit will
power up in a SQ capable mode.
4 0..4 Want a power up force of data base to other than remembered nonvolatile state. The
three value choices of 0,1 and 2 correspond to the following meanings:
0 PRGMOD_as is : leave memory state as is. The default state, in effect, take no action.
1 PRGMOD_purged : everything set to forgotten default values. safe. The unit will have
no usefull program content and will need programming by the customer.
2 PRGMOD_factory: everything set to as if RS232 download, same as purge above,
except the I/O program is left alone and certain film and sys. configuration parameters
are preloaded to allow the customer to run simple film operations as in instruc. manual.
3 PRGMOD_clone
4 PRGMOD_archive
ID# VALUE Range Description
1 0..1 Test mode, set to true (1) if desire test mode. Default is 0, or false. Any
non-zero value for VAL when sending the l1=NNN message will be
interpreted as TRUE and store a legal 1 value.That value can be later polled
with a l1 query. When unit is rebooted, a TRUE setting will be acted upon,
and the TEST mode will be in effect until the next reset/reboot. The setting
of the configuration values is not 'sticky', meaning they are lost after reboot
and need to be re-sent if desired to take action again.
2 0..1 Make the SQ unit type act like Non-SQ (A) after rebooting. Like ID 1
above, any non-zero VAL value is interpreted as TRUE.
3 0..1 Make the non-SQ unit type act as SEQ (B) after rebooting. Like ID 1 above,
any non-zero VAL value is interpreted as TRUE. NOTE: no more than one
of the two ID 2 and 3 values above should be set to TRUE (1), since they
are mutually contradictory. Both can be set to FALSE (the default) since no
action would then be taken during the next reboot. If both options are set to
TRUE, then the ID # 3 option (act like sequencing) has the priority, and the
unit will power up in a SQ capable mode.
4 0..4 Want a power up force of data base to other than remembered nonvolatile
