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.
