TIXFER - Transducer Interface Transfer
This program is used to change settings within the SWIFT Transducer Interface
(TI). It can be used to read the current settings and save them to the computer
(upload) or write the settings to a TI with values from a file on the computer
(download).
Syntax The tixfer command requires one argument:
tixfer port
port is the serial port number
1 = COM1:
2 = COM2:
Example
File Format
The file used with commands contains a header and a list of parameters.
Transducer calibrations can be uploaded and saved individually. If a test needs to
be rerun at a later date but the original transducer is not available, another
transducer can be used by downloading its calibration information.
The header must be the first thing in the file, and it must be in the form:
[SWIFT]
Following the header is a list of parameter settings. The syntax is:
ParamName=ParamValue
The following rules apply:
Tabs and spaces are allowed.
The parameters can occur in any order
Names are case insensitive. If a parameter name is not recognized, an error
will be reported, and further processing will be stopped.
If an error causes the program to abort while downloading, any parameters
prior to the error will have been successfully downloaded because
parameters are downloaded as they are read.
