CHAPTER 15: CSCAPE CONFIGURATION



15.1 Overview

XL6/XL6e OCS hardware is programmed with a Windows based PC application called Cscape. This
application can be used to program, configure, monitor and debug all aspects of the XL6/XL6e OCS unit.
Please see the on-line help provided with Cscape for additional details.

15.2

Cscape Status Bar


When the XL6/XL6e OCS is connected to a PC using Cscape software a Status Bar appears at the
bottom of the screen. The Cscape Status Bar can be used to determine if communications have been
established between the XL6/XL6e OCS and the Cscape program. Components of the Cscape Status
Bar are explained below.













Ready

User: NONE

HE-XExx1-CsCAN (Model=)

Equal

Local :1 Target :2(R) [no forces]

MOD





















Equal Indicator – indicates whether the current program in Cscape is equal to the program
stored in the Target Controller.

• If

Equal, the program in Cscape is the same as the program stored in the Target Controller.

• If

Not Equal, the program in Cscape is not the same as the program stored in the Target

Controller.

• If Unknown, there may have been a change since the last time the program in Cscape was

compared to the Target Controller.

Communications Status - indicates the current status of the
“pass through” Connector.

•

Local: xx – indicates the Network ID of the XL6/QX351
OCS to which the Cscape program is physically connected
through its serial port. It can serve as a pass through
device to other nodes on the network.


•

Target: yy(R) – indicates the Network ID of the device with
which the Cscape program is exchanging data.

Note: The Local unit and Target unit can be the
same unit or they can be separate units.

The following are status indicators:

(R) – Running
(D) - Do I/o
(I) – Idle
(?) – Cscape is not communicating with the remote unit.
[no forces] – indicates no I/O has been forced.

Message Line -
The contents of
these messages
are context
sensitive. The
Message line can
be empty.

Current User -
indicates who is logged
(for security purposes).

Controller Model - Network (Model Confirmation)

•

Controller Model indicates the controller model for
which the program in Cscape is configured.


•

Network indicates the type of network that the program
in Cscape expects to use (e.g., CsCAN).


•

(Model Confirmation) provides the following
indications:


•

(Model=) - the actual Target Controller matches the
configured Controller Model and Network.


•

(Model Not=) – the actual Target Controller does not
match the configured Controller Model and Network.


•

(Model ?) – there may have been a change since the
last time the Target Controller was compared to the
configured Controller Model and Network.

File Modified Indicator - indicates that the file in
the selected window has been modified but has
not been saved.
