4.2.4.4 Automatically executing a command
NOTE: A command must be sent after the communication has been
established.
NOTE: If you want to automatically execute a command, you need to
create an automatic command execution file.
You can continuously send two or more commands in the automatic
command execution mode. Run the automatic command execution file
as follows:
1. Click the [Auto] tab. The [Auto] screen appears.
2. Establish the communication. (See Section 4.2.4.2 “Setting up the
communication”.)
3. Click the [File Open] button. The [Auto Run File Open] window
appears.
4. Select the automatic command execution file and click [Open].
5. Only comment lines of the file appear.
6. Click the [Start] button to automatically execute commands in the
order they are listed in the file.
NOTE: To cancel the execution of the file, click the [Stop] button.
NOTE: When you want to go to the ([Auto] or [Service]) menu, first
disconnect the connection (by clicking the [Disconnect] button),
then go to another menu.
[Creating an automatic command execution file]
NOTE: Use an editor (e.g., WordPad, etc.) to create a file.
As shown in the figure below, enter a command in HEX on one line.
Each byte must be delimited by a space.
A file name must be in alphanumeric characters; the file extension must
be “.AT”. Save the file in the [Auto] folder in the same folder installed in
the Diagnostic Commander.
A line with a “#” at the beginning is a comment line for describing the
file. A line with a “#” is displayed on the [Auto] screen.
[Sample automatic command execution file]
As a sample, an automatic command execution file (Test.AT) that
sends the above commands has been provided.
