Using SPM
The following discussion refers to the language specified in the SPM
configuration file as the
PC language
and the language used by the
control unit as the
console window language.
PC Language
During SPM installation, you select a language that is recorded in the
SPM configuration file. Any time thereafter, SPM can be started with the
O
option to specify a different language, using one of the following
command lines:
■ spm -l english
■ spm -l french
■ spm -l spanish
Note that the option is a lowercase letter L and not the number 1.
Use of the
O
option changes the language attribute in the ams.cfg file.
The language specified becomes the new PC language, used whenever
SPM is started without the
O
option.
Console Window Language
By default, the language used in the console simulation window is the
language specified in the ams.cfg file; however, you can select a
different language for this window for the duration of the current session.
To select a different language, follow the steps below.
