LOADING AND SAVING SETUPS

Currently there is no menu on the SidePanel, so you have to enter some com-
mands from the VxWorks shell.

This implies that you have a terminal connected to the control panel.

Setups are stored in /flash/satpanel (default setups) and in /appdisk/satpanel
(user interactively defined setups).

4.4.1

Loading Setup

SatPanelLoadLearned

Example:

SatPanelLoadLearned “/flash/satpanel/mstrmemo.sat”

or

SatPanelLoadLearned “/appdisk/satpanel/mysatpan.sat

You have to be careful because you save only the new macro in the flash or
ramdisk, but you do not change the item in the APPLI-CP.INI file.

If you like to have the macro as the default macro you have to change the file
APPLI-CP.INI.

4.4.2

Saving Setup

SatPanelSaveLearned , ,

Example: SatPanelSaveLearned “mysatpan”, “my header”, “hello world”

is the base of the filename.
The (internal) resulting filename will be

/appdisk/satpanel/filename.sat

So any extensions to the filename (e.g. “.txt”) and any preceding
path are ignored.

is a text which appears in the file (as a comment, will later be used

by the SidePanel GUI for the setup choice list).

is the text which has to be written into the big 16-character
display.

The last 2 parameters can be omitted, in that case the header name is an empty
string and the 16-character display is cleared.

4.4.3

Format of the setup files

The setup files are special text files, which can be “understood” by the VxWorks
shell interpreter. This means you can alternatively load setups by running them as
shell script (by typing < /flash/appdisk/mstrmemo.sat, for example).

But this is not recommended due to the long time it usually takes for interpreting
the scripts (so you better use the SatPanelLoadLearned command).
