ASC

Purpose:

Manage communication between ASCII controllers and client tasks in CyFlex, interpreting commands, composing messages, sending them, and processing responses.

Enter:

ASC <priority_level> <name_stem> [auxilary_name] &

Where:

priority_level Specify the task priority.
name_stem Specify a name string to create the event names and configuration file paths to communicate with the ASC task.
auxilary_name Optional. Specify a name for auxiliary events.

Example:

ASC 10 dpt &
The above spawns the ASC task at priority 10 with a name stem of dpt. The ‘name_stem’ is used to construct the name of the configuration file that is read to configure the service. For this example, the configuration that will be accessed is /specs/dpt.cfg.

Notes:

The program requires at least two arguments and operates as a background service in CyFlex.
