Commands 4-7
Pause
Suspends the display of information during monitoring. Pressing the up arrow (↑) or
Page Up key also pauses the display.
While the display is paused, information received by PAP is buffered and captured to
disk. Press Cont to continue display.
Play
Plays back a file that has been created using the Capt or Save commands.
When you supply the filename of a legal capture file, the sequence in the file is played
back and the status line indicates PLAY in field 1.
The first page is displayed and you can view subsequent lines by using the Page Up,
Page Down and arrow keys. The L2, L3, Long, Med and Short commands control the
display level. Playback is ended at the end of the file, or when you press STOP.
Port
Selects which COM port to use. Choose 1 or 2. If you have a PC with two COM ports,
you can monitor two different PrimeSwitch modules at the same time; in this case, select
BOTH as the value.
This value is saved for use the next time the software is opened.
Print
Prints a file of transactions that has been captured on disk. You can print the file to a disk
file by selecting Disk, rather than Printer, as the print destination. Messages are decoded
and displayed according to the current settings of the L2, L3, Long, Med and Short
commands. The print file is standard ASCII text.
Quit
Exits from PAP and returns to the MS-DOS prompt.
Save
Saves the current contents of the PAP internal buffers to a disk file. The file is in the same
format as a Capture file and can be read using the Play command.
Short
Selects short display of layer 3. Disassembly of messages is restricted to type only. SHORT
is displayed on the status line.
