Commands Menu
The Commands menu on the System Configurator screen is used to
edit DOS files that were not created by AutoMax Executive V4.x, to
access the Kermit communications utility, to load (or erase) the
operating system to the Processor(s) and UDC modules in the rack
or to repair database files. Note that the operating system for the
Processors in the rack must be loaded before any communication
can take place with the rack.
5.4.1
Editing DOS Files
Select Edit File from the Commands menu to edit DOS files only.
Except for .LOG and .XRF files, you cannot use this command to edit
files created by the Executive software. Figure 5.23 illustrates the Edit
File dialog box.
A list box with all the available directories and files in the current
drive\library will be displayed. You can change the path displayed by
entering the desired path in the space provided. Select the file you
want to edit. Although all files in the subdirectory will be listed, they
cannot all be edited. The Programing Executive will display a
message if the selected item cannot be edited. You can make the
selection from the list box or you can enter the filename in the text
box. The filename can contain a wildcard character (*). All matching
files will be displayed in the list box. For example, entering *.TXT
would display all the text files in the current drive\directory and allow
you to select the file to be edited. After you make a selection and
click on OK, the text editor will come up on the screen.
