Notes For VPD Text File Editing
•
There needs to be one (
1
) space between the colon (
:
) and the first character of the data string.
•
NO
spaces, characters, tabs, etc. at the end of the data string. Do a Fn-End (Function-End) on the
LOGIQ
™
9 keyboard to see the actual end of the line. Delete all spaces by back spacing to the text
string.
•
Double click on a word to select it for editing.
•
Copy a field like the date for multiple pasting by:
-
Double clicking on the edited date field to select it.
-
CTRL - C to copy the field.
-
Double clicking on the next field to edit.
-
CTRL-V to paste in the copied text.
-
You can do multiple CTRL-V operations for the text until you do another CTRL-C.
•
Use the board descriptions listed in
Table 8-10 recorded prior to replacing a board
.
•
The Back End Processor data is edited in the Backplane text file.
•
The file defaults values may have ?????? in a field, however this must be changed to alpha or
alpha-numberic characters (whichever is valid for the field being updated).
•
Some boards may already have data present (no ??????). If this is the case, simply verify the data
present with that recorded in the table and correct it if necessary.
•
The EEP-PC VPD Data.txt file is for the PC2IP Board which is part of the Back End Processor FRU.
This file does not need to be updated.
NOTE:
and
provide an example of a circuit
board text file and backplane text file, with hints, for reference. Proceed to page
text processing.
