Precis DSP Instruction Manual
Verbosity Settings
The verbosity (
v
) settings (
v0
,
v1
,
v2
,
v3
) correspond to the level of detail that will be displayed,
with
v0
being the lowest level of detail and
v3
being the highest level.
Component Settings
Detailed information for a single system component can be specified by using its identity (
i
) number
setting (
i1
through
i5
) in the following table. Minimal information for all five components can be
specified by using the identity number
i0
.
Default Settings
At system boot, the ~
scrv0i1!
setting is displayed (see FIG. 8 on page 30).
If the verbosity setting is omitted, the verbosity level will be the lowest (
v0
).
The component setting must be included; otherwise, entering any of the verbosity settings
alone will result in a display equivalent to
v0i0
.
If both settings are omitted during a query (
~scr!
), the information displayed will be at the
lowest verbosity level for all components (
v0i0
) (FIG. 9 on page 33).
Using BCS to Access System Diagnostic Information
Instructions are provided for accessing the lowest level of verbosity for all components and for accessing
a specific level of verbosity for a specific component.
To access the lowest level of verbosity for all components:
1.
Enter
~scr!
or
~scrv0i0!
Note:
Either of these commands provides a “menu” of the identity numbers and their corresponding
components (FIG. 9 on page 33).
Only one verbosity setting and one component setting can be entered in a command. The order in which
the verbosity and component settings are entered is interchangeable.
To access a specific level of verbosity for a specific component:
1.
Enter
~scr
(to access the splash screen).
2.
Enter the verbosity level setting
v#
and the component’s identity setting
i#
.
Either may be specified first.
3.
Enter
!
(to send the command).
Example
~scrv3i5!
or
~scri5v3!
(Either displays the highest level of detail for the VM Configuration.)
