Command Descriptions

ERASE
The ERASE command is used to delete a Macro and return
the occupied memory to the USER heap. A specific Macro
can be deleted or all can be ERASEd.
LOG
Data which is generated by a macro can be diverted from
the serial output into a LOG buffer with the LOG ON
command. This LOG buffer is also non-volatile and can be
read by the serial host with the READ LOG command. This
feature is disabled by the LOG OFF command.
ON
…DOMACRO The ON
execution upon detection of an event, such as SRQ being
asserted by a bus device. This feature is mutually exclusive
with the ARM command.
READ
The READ command allows the Macro buffer to be
transmitted back to the serial host. It is sent exactly as it
was built with the exception of the appended Macro
number to the ENDM portion. This command requires
making a copy of the specified Macro buffer.
TRACE
The TRACE ON command allows the embedded macro
commands within the macro buffer to be echoed out the
serial port to the host computer as the Macro is executed.
This allows trace debugging during Macro execution. This
feature is disabled with the TRACE OFF command.
