DL-V3 Commands

2.42 WRITE

Create User Data Logs

The

write

command/log allows you to create logs which contain user data.

The

write

command allows you to supply user data for the

write

log. Upon receipt of the

write

command, the receiver generates a

write

log to all destinations which have been configured to send

write

logs with a

log write onnew

command.

All of the supplied arguments are echoed in the generated

write

log.

If written to a logfile, the

previous

argument is overwritten to indicate the file offset (from the

beginning of the file) of the previous

writeb

writehexb

log. The first record in a logfile has this field

set to 0.

length

specifies the number of bytes supplied as

data

is up to 1024 bytes, and is ASCII data if the

write

command is issued in ASCII but can be binary

in a binary

write

message.

2.43 WRITEFILE

Create/Append Files on CF Card

The

writefile

command allows you to create files on the CF card or append data to an existing file on

the CF card.

The

writefile

command writes

data

to a file named

filename

on the CF card. If a file named

filename

does not exist, the file is created. If a file named

filename

already exists, data is appended to the end of

the file. Only simple filenames (maximum 8 characters and an optional 3-character extension) are
supported.

data

is up to 1024 bytes, and is ASCII data if the

writefile

command is issued in ASCII but
