sovr

Purpose:

Set the override mode for a specified variable and optionally set its value if the master override is enabled.

Enter:

sovr  <variable_label> [value|-off |-on] 

Where:

variable_label Specify the name of the variable to override.
value

Optionally specify the value to which variable is set.

  • Specify -off to reset the override mode of the variable to OFF.
  • Specify -on to set the override mode of the variable to ON without changing the value. This is the default if not specified.

Example:

sovr  engine_hours  13.5
The above command places the engine_hours variable in override mode and if the master override variable (var_override) is TRUE, sets the value to 13.5

sovr  my_var  -on
If the master override is TRUE, this command places the ‘my_var’ variable into override mode. It does not change the value of the variable. The current value of the variable will be save as the value to be restored when the override mode is turned off.

sovr  my_var  -off
This command sets the override mode off for the ‘my_var’ variable and restores the value saved prior to entering the override mode.

The default action is to set the override mode on when this option is not used.

Notes:

The master override must be enabled for changes to take effect; supported on real, integer, logical, and string variables.
