CHAPTER 7: CSCAPE CONFIGURATION
7.1
Overview
XL4/XL4 Prime OCS hardware is programmed with a Windows based PC application called
Cscape. This application can be used to program, configure, monitor, and debug all aspects of
the XL4/XL4 Prime OCS unit. Please see the Online Help provided with Cscape for additional
details.
7.2 Cscape Status Bar
When the XL4/XL4 Prime OCS is connected to a PC using Cscape software, a Status Bar
appears at the bottom of the screen. The Cscape Status Bar can be used to determine if
communications have been established between the XL4/XL4 Prime OCS and the Cscape
program. Components of the Cscape Status Bar are explained below.
Equal Indicator
–
indicates whether the current program in Cscape is equal to the program
stored in the Target Controller.
•
If
Equal, the program in Cscape is the same as the program stored in the Target Controller.
•
If
Not Equal, the program in Cscape is not the same as the program stored in the Target
Controller.
•
If Unknown, there may have been a change since the last time the program in Cscape was
compared to the Target Controller.
Communications Status
- Indicates the current status of the
“pass through” Connector.
•
Local: xx
–
Indicates the Network ID of the OCS to which
the Cscape program is physically connected through its
serial port. It can serve as a pass through device to other
nodes on the network.
•
Target: yy(R)
–
Indicates the Network ID of the device with
which the Cscape program is exchanging data.
NOTE: The Local unit and Target unit can be the
same unit or they can be separate units.
The following are status indicators:
(R)
–
Running
(D) - Do I/O
(I)
–
Idle
(?)
–
Cscape is not communicating with the remote unit.
[no forces]
–
indicates no I/O has been forced.
Message Line -
The contents of
these messages
are context
sensitive. The
Message line can
be empty.
Current User -
Indicates who is logged
(for security purposes).
Controller Model - Network (Model Confirmation)
•
Controller Model indicates the controller model for
which the program in Cscape is configured.
•
Network indicates the type of network that the
program in Cscape expects to use (e.g., CsCAN).
•
(Model Confirmation) provides the following
indications.
•
(Model=) - The actual Target Controller matches the
configured Controller Model and Network.
•
(Model Not=)
–
The actual Target Controller does not
match the configured Controller Model and Network.
•
(Model ?)
–
There may have been a change since the
last time the Target Controller was compared to the
configured Controller Model and Network.
File Modified Indicator - Indicates that the file in
the selected window has been modified but has
not been saved.
