7.3.4 PARAMETER FIELD
The fourth field in an SCL command line is the parameter field. As noted above, the parameter field
should be left blank for STATUS?, CONFIG?, and LOCK commands.
For UNLOCK commands, the parameter field must contain the correct password of the addressed
multiplexer. For example, to unlock the remote port on the DI-A module in a drop/insert multiplexer
with an address of 12 and a password of "GREEN", issue the following command:
12:DI-A:UNLOCK:GREEN;
For SET commands, the parameter field must include a valid parameter name, followed by an equal
sign (=), followed by a valid parameter value. For example, to activate the payload loopback in a
terminal multiplexer with an address of 17, issue the following command:
17:TERM:SET:PAYLD-LB=ON;
The valid parameter names and values for SET commands issued to CM4 modules are listed in Table
7-5 in this section.
The valid parameter names and values for SET commands issued to an ILS chassis are listed in Table
7-6 in this section.
The valid parameter names and values for SET commands issued to a DACS chassis are listed in Table
7-7 in this section.
SET commands can also be issued to remotely controllable channel modules. Each channel module
type has its own valid parameter names and values, listed in the individual channel module manual
sections.
7.3.5 COMMENT FIELD
The SCL command line format also allows a free-form comment to be included after the command,
between the semicolon and the carriage return. For example:
3:TERM:SET:PTIME=EXT; Sets #3 primary timing to external
Anything typed in the comment field, that is, anything after the semicolon but before the carriage
return, is ignored by the multiplexer. Comments may be used when SCL commands are embedded in
batch files or data files accessed by an automated controller, to make the commands more readable
later. The comment field is optional at all times.
