Customizable Command Prompts
This feature allows the prompt in the command processor to be customized, and includes the ability to embed one or
more settings values in the prompt. A customized command prompt can help simplify administration of units,
particularly where multiple units are involved.
The command prompt setting is available in the General setup menu section, and via the Setting Key
sys.prompt
.
The setting can contain up to 64 characters, but the prompt itself is limited to 30 characters; any additional characters
are truncated.
In addition to specifying plain text to be included in the command prompt, setting values can be embedded using a
special syntax: $(setting_key_name). If this construct is used, the value of the specified setting key replaces the
construct. If the setting key is not accessible for any reason (invalid key, insufficient user access level, etc), "ERROR"
is displayed instead.
To make the system prompt blank, set
sys.prompt
to a null value (i.e. "
sk sys.prompt
= ").
Examples:
Set prompt to be “>”
Via Setup menu: Enter new prompt: >
Via Setting Key:
sk sys.prompt
= >
Set prompt to be “Site Name>”
Via Setup menu: Enter new Prompt: $(sys.sitename)<space> (where <space> is
actual space character)
Via Setting Key:
sk sys.prompt
= “$(
sys.sitename
) “
Set prompt to be “System Date and Time>”
Via Setup menu: Enter new Prompt: $(sys.clock.date) $(sys.clock.time)>
Via Setting Key:
sk sys.prompt
= $(
sys.clock.date
) $(
sys.clock.time
)>
