6.5 Parameter Field
The fourth field in an ISiCL command line is the parameter field. This field is used in conjunction with
the command field (Section 6.4) to define intended action of the ISiCL command line. Values in the
parameter field are typically blank, a password, or in the “parameter=value” format.
6.5.1
Blank Parameters
The parameter field needs to be left blank for some commands such as the
STATUS?
and
CONFIG?
commands. These commands are typically entered as
13:DCS:STATUS?:;
There is no space or text between the last colon and the semicolon.
6.5.2
Parameter = Value Format
This type of entry in the parameter field is usually used for
SET
commands. The parameter field must
include a valid parameter name, followed by an equal sign (
=
), followed by a valid parameter value.
For example, to specify the normal service map for a DCS with an address of 13, issue this command:
13:DCS:SET:NORMALMAP=7;
6.6 Comment Field
The ISiCL command line format also allows a free-form comment to be included after the command,
between the semicolon and the carriage return:
13:DCS:SET:NORMALMAP=7; Set normal service map to 7
Anything typed in the comment field, that is, anything after the semicolon but before the carriage
return, is ignored. Comments may be used when ISiCL commands are embedded in batch files or data
files accessed by an automated controller, to make the commands more readable later. The comment
field is optional at all times.
6.7 Valid Characters
ISiCL command line fields may contain
●
Valid addresses
●
Subaddresses
●
Commands
●
Parameters
●
Space characters
Space characters are ignored by the common module, so you can use them to make command lines
more readable. Also ISiCL commands are not case-sensitive. You may enter subaddresses,
commands, and parameters in upper or lower case, or a combination of both. For example, these
three ISiCL commands are perceived as identical by the multiplexer:
3:TERM:SET:PTIME=EXT;
3:Term:SET:PTime = EXT;
3: TERM: SET: PTIME = ext;
Line feed
<lf>
characters are also ignored. A terminal or PC may be configured to generate either a
single carriage return
<cr>
character or a
<cr><lf>
pair when you press the Enter (or Return) key.
The comment field may contain any printable ASCII characters.
