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.
