Appendix A. PC-CDU Scripts
Introduction to PC-CDU scripts
Script is a plain text file each line of which is either a receiver command, or a PC-CDU command, or
a comment. It can be created and edited with a text editor, (e.g., Notepad). You can also edit an

It is recommended to save scripts using the extension .jpc.
To run a script through the command line of the Manual Mode window:
First, enter the script name with the character '@', which is followed by the script name.
Next, specify necessary script arguments, if required.
Finally, press the Send command button.
Script arguments should be delimited by either spaces or commas. If some of the
arguments in the command line contain separators (spaces and/or commas), put
such arguments into double quotes ("), (e.g.: @myscript “This is one argument”
these are 4 arguments).

lows you to select the required script from the Script file window.
