sys_start

Purpose:

Initialize shared memory areas, semaphores, and events for the CyFlex system.

Enter:

sys_start [filename] [real=X] [integer=X] [logical=X] [string=X] [stat=X] [expr=X] [saved_data=X] [limits=X] [tables=X] [alias=X] [rarray=X] [iarray=X] [sarray=X] [larray=X] [PAM_stats=X] [log_vars=X]

Where:

filename

Optional. Specify the filename to access initialization information. The default is ‘/cell/logi_specs.nnn’, where nnn is the test cell number.

real=X

Optional. Specify the number of general usage real variables allowed. The default is 1000.

integer=X

Optional. Specify the number of general usage integer variables allowed. The default is 200.

logical=X

Optional. Specify the number of general usage logical variables allowed. The default is 200.

string=X

Optional. Specify the number of general usage string variables allowed. The default is 256.

stat=X

Optional. Specify the number of general usage statistical variables allowed. The default is 100.

expr=X

Optional. Specify the number of general usage computed expressions allowed. The default is 1000.

saved_data=X

Optional. Specify the number of variables that can be stored in the /data/save_parameters file. The default is 200.

limits=X

Optional. Specify the number of limits allowed. The default is 200.

tables=X

Optional. Specify the number of calibration tables allowed. The default is 100.

alias=X

Optional. Specify the number of aliases variables names. The default is 100.

rarray=X

Optional. Specify the number of real array variables. The default is 10.

iarray=X

Optional. Specify the number of integer array variables. The default is 10.

sarray=X

Optional. Specify the number of string array variables. The default is 10.

larray=X

Optional. Specify the number of logical array variables. The default is 10.

PAM_stats=X

Optional. Specify the maximum number of pam_specs variables that can be specified as “AVER”. The default is 1000.

log_vars=X

Optional. Specify the maximum number of variables that can be logged with either floger or dlogger. The default is 1000.

Example:

sys_start filename real=1000 integer=384 logical=1000 string=256 stat=128 expr=1000 saved_data=256 limits=200 tables=256 long_tables=12 PAM_stats=100 log_vars=1200

The above example performs initialization and overrides the default values with the specified values for each of the specified data types. By specifying 1200 for the log_vars argument, upto 1200 variables can be logged within the dlogger and floger programs.

sys_start

The above command performs initialization and accesses the file logi_specs.nnn for some of the initialization information.

Notes:

Use the ‘show_mem’ command to check shared memory usage. Array sizes for general use variables are flexible and configurable.
