Giving Commands

When you have established the connection to the QML logger, you can
use the commands described in

Table 22 on page 106

to communicate

with the QML logger. Commands are text strings sent from the PC or
terminal to the logger. Most commands can be used for both setting a
value for a parameter and viewing the set value of a parameter.

To open the connection, select Terminal Connect on the Maintenance
menu or click the Open command mode button on the toolbar. To
close the terminal connection, select Terminal Disconnect on the
Maintenance menu or click the Close command mode button on the
toolbar. Logging is not affected unless it is stopped using the logstop
command. In the closed mode, the serial line will be available for report
sending.

Type help to get a list of the available commands. Each command must
be entered using the correct syntax. You do not have to memorize
complex commands since you can view a help text that shows the
correct syntax at any time. Simply type help and the command name.

NOTE

Both open and close commands have to be typed exactly correctly
before they can be executed. This means that you cannot use the
BACKSPACE key to correct your typing. Simply retype the command
and press ENTER to give the command again.
