Executing an Alternative Setup File
from CompactFlash Memory Card
You can execute an alternative setup file from the CompactFlash (CF)
memory card. This is especially useful when upgrading new setups
remotely.
An alternative setup file will be executed if the primary setup file in the
/Cfg directory fails.
Proceed as follows:
1. Check that the system includes a boot code version 4.07 or higher.
You can use the VER command or the SYSINFO command to
check the version.
2. Insert the CompactFlash card into the CF card slot.
3. To check that a configuration exists, give the following command:
dir /Ext/<pathname>
4. To set a specific static parameter to point to an alternative setup file
(script), use the SPSET command. Alternativescript is the name
of the static parameter to be used to store the path and the file name.
SPSET alternativescript /Ext/<setup file>
For example, if you want the setup501.adc setup file in the test directory
on the CF card to be executed in case the primary (probably remotely
downloaded) setup file fails, use the following command:
SPSET alternativescript /Ext/test/setup501.adc
NOTE You must set a specific static parameter to enable this. This also
requires that there is a CF memory card in the QML logger.
