Remote terminal commands
6.6.1 Notes on commands
The commands of the AIM Remote Terminal are informative. They display
information about, for example, the module status.
The Remote Terminal is case sensitive. Commands can be entered
only in lower case characters. The backspace key can be used to edit
the Remote Terminal command line.
The Remote Terminal has a limited command history buffer to save
typing effort. Using up and down arrows on a PC terminal program
selects among commands in the history buffer.
When a parameter is enclosed in square brackets, the parameter is
optional. If such parameter is omitted, the default value for the
command is used. Some commands have multiple parameters which
must be separatedby spaces. A vertical bar ( | ) between values
means that only one of the listed choices can be used for a single
command.
6.6.2 Command help - print available commands
The available Remote Terminal commands for the AIM module are the following.

>
6.6.3 Command ver - version check
This command prints the firmware version and FPGA ID to the terminal.
>ver
B015.P0000.001-0.01
AIM2505A 41 C FPGAID: A2590-AIM-pp-26
In the example above, the B015.P0000-0.01 is the AIM firmware version. The base
release is 015, the project number is 0000 and the patch number is 001. The -0.01 is
an additional item about AIM for firmware maintenance purposes.
Last item 41C is the module temperature in degrees Celsius.
