XTC/3 Operating Manual

5.3.5.4 XTC/2 UPDATE Command

The Update command replaces the current parameter value with the DATA Sent.

To update film parameters the format of the update command is:

U pp F vvv - Parameter pp of film F, value vvv.

Update parameter pp of film F, with value vvv, a space is used as a delimiter
between the pp and F values as well as the F and vvv values, where F is a digit
between 1 and 9. Refer to

Table 5-7

for a numbered list of parameters and their

limits. If value vvv is left blank, the command will be accepted and a value of 0 will
be transmitted.

NOTE: If pp is set to 99, the data is a list of all parameters in the order specified.

This command allows a rapid block transfer of data which is convenient for
downloading films. Each parameter value must be separated by a space.

To update layers, the format of the update command is:

U 40 L v

Where 40 designates a layer is to be updated. The value L indicates which layer to
update. The value of L can be 1, 2, or 3, and v designates the film number to insert
into layer L.

For example, the update command

U 40 1 4

will enter film number 4 into layer 1.
