‘X’ – Configuration Control Data
Syntax: X[ string ]<>
or
X<> to retrieve the current configuration control data.
Definition: Configuration control data is user-specified information that is stored in the status
record. (The status record is retrieved with the
‘S’ – System Status Record
command, page 68 .) This gives the user the ability to identify a particular
FASTRAK system in the status record.
Purpose: A maximum of 32 ASCII characters may be entered as configuration control data
in EEPROM with this command. The
‘^K’ – *Save Operational Configuration
command (page 85 ) must be used to save the new configuration control data in
the FASTRAK EEPROM. The specific parameters are:
string a maximum of 32 ASCII characters can be used to identify the
configuration control data.
Relatives: ^K, ^Y, W
Default: The default configuration control data retrieved with the ‘X’ command is as
follows:
OutputCompensat CPG2030-003-10 (This is a Polhemus configuration
code.)
Example: A user could enter project specific information with the ‘X’ command as follows:
XF18 Simulator05 Saint Louis<>
Sending the ‘S’ command to the system would yield the following result:
21S3F0 0 103.00F18 Simulator05 Saint Louis
NOTE: Resetting the EEPROM with the ‘W’ – Reset System to Defaults
command (page 79 ) alters the contents of this data area to:
OutputCompensat CPG2030-003-10.
