The Special Function Control Character.

This cc is NOT the PGL SFCC. It is the “setup” SFCC

and is set under the Maint/Misc configuration menu.

PTX_SETUP

The trigger command. Must appear in capital letters.

Once the trigger is detected, all unprintable characters

and spaces (i.e., characters less than 21 hex) are

ignored.

<category – >

This selects which category or type of command is

being entered: CONFIG, DISK_IO, ENGINE,

FORMAT or TEST_CHK. All categories must appear

in capital letters and must be followed by a dash (–).

<parameter;value:> Parameter and value pair for the current category. See

the listing of categories, valid parameters and ranges of

values beginning on page 3–4. The parameter and

value must be separated by a semicolon (;) and must

be terminated by either a colon (:) or a period (.).

The colon signifies that more parameter/value pairs for

the current category are to follow; therefore, more than

one parameter/value pair may be given for the current

category. The period denotes the end of parameter/

value pairs for the given category.

Parameter/value pairs must not exceed 25 characters

with the semicolon and terminator included.
