Recalling ETU Commands

If you run the same ETU command more than once, you can avoid re-keying

repeated values by using the recall function. The recall function

displays the most recently run command on the ETU command line.

To recall a command, press F9. You can then change whatever information

you want by typing over it. You can cycle through and recall any command

you entered since you accessed the ETU menu (WSMENUS) by repeatedly

pressing F9. Upon exiting ETU, all references to previously-entered

commands is lost to future executions of WSMENUS.

Another way to re-use previously-entered commands is by saving and

re-using request definitions.

Request Definitions

Some ETU commands (FROM3XB, PCFROMPC, PCTOPC, PWRFROM3XB, PWRTO3XB, and

TO3XB) support savable request definitions. A request definition is the

information you provide to ETU to run a command. For example, if you

transfer a file from the host to the micro using the FROM3XB command, the

request definition is the summation of the values you entered for each

parameter.

The commands that support savable request definitions (listed above)

contain a parameter called SAVRQS (save request). This parameter allows

you to save the command request for the transfer operation that you are

currently performing. To save the definition of a command request, enter

*YES as the value in the SAVRQS parameter. Then supply a name for the

request. The request name may be up to ten characters long.

To replay any request definition you have previously saved, use the ETU

command VWSAVRQS (view save request). The VWSAVRQS command is covered in

Chapter 9, Advanced ETU Features and Chapter 10, ETU Command Reference.

NOTE: When you save a PWRFROM3XB request definition, note that special
values shouldn't be used in the Comparison Value prompt in the Record

Selection parameter. See PWRFROM3XB command in Chapter 10, Command
Reference for more details on the special values.
