Site Controller III
However, the space available for storing such output is limited, so the log
printer should not be left off-line for long periods while the site is operating.
It is possible to print a file on a log printer. This is usually done at shift change
or by a local automatic command file. When a file is printed on the log this
way, the terminal beeps and prints the header -Printing: filename date time
where filename is the name of the file being printed.
Command Terminals
Site commands can be entered through local or remote terminals. The local
terminal is the command window on your SC III PC. A remote terminal is
connected to the site through one of the SC III’s RS232 ports. It can be any
dumb terminal such as the LINK or another PC running terminal emulator
software capable of supporting VT100 or VT52 (such as Procomm Plus
® ). The
remote terminal can also be a modem connection.
Commands
Commands are instructions you type in the CFN3 Command window. CFN3
commands must be typed in exactly the format shown in this manual. Most
commands are words or abbreviations for the action to be performed. For
example, typing PRINT DATE and then pressing the ENTER key causes the
SC III to print the current date and time according to its internal clock.
Some commands, as explained in this manual, have short forms that you can
use instead of typing the whole command in order to save time. In the above
example, PRINT DATE could have been typed P DA.
Besides command words, other special symbols, such as < and >, provide
flexibility in redirecting the input to or output from commands.
