Cyclone Automated Control Package

6.3 Configuration Script File
The configuration file contains two types of commands. The first type is SETUP
commands which configures the communication port between the PC and the
Cyclone units. The second type is Operation commands which carry out the pre-
configured Cyclone operations.
Comments are allowed in the script files. All lines beginning with the semi-colon
character ; are treated as comments by the application.
6.3.1 SETUP Commands
SETCOMPORT=comport
Specifies which COM port to use for serial communications. If this
command is not used, COM1 will be used by default. Valid values for
“comport” are 1 to 256.
SETLOCALIP=ipaddress
Only needed if the host PC has more than one network card.
“ipaddress” indicates the IP address of the network card that should
be used during communications. If this command is used, it should
be the first command in the script file. “ipaddress” should be in the
format of xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, where xxx=0..255.
SETTIMEOUT=timeout
Specifies the maximum amount of time that a Cyclone unit can
execute programming operations before a timeout error will occur.
“timeout” is specified in number of seconds, and must be greater than
zero. If this command is not used, then no timeout errors will occur.
This command is useful for safely recovering if a fatal error occurs
(e.g. loss of communications, accidental reset or power off on the
Cyclone, etc.) Timeout errors can occur during the “ALLSTART” and
“START” operation commands (see sections 6.2.2 and 6.2.3)
