Using the Array Configuration Utility
■ /R —Record mode. This mode saves a controller’s array and
channel configuration in a specified script file for later
playback.
On the ACU command line, you can also specify the name of a log
file to record the status of the playback or record operation. The
ACU records in the log any errors or warnings encountered.
When running in playback or record mode, ACU stores the status of
the playback or record operation in the MS-DOS variable
ERRORLEVEL on exit, allowing it to be used within an MS-DOS
batch file. See Error Handling on page 13-24 for more information on
error handling.
Table 13-2 lists the required and optional ACU command-line
switches.
Table 13-2 Command-Line Switches
Switch Description
/P <file> Indicates playback mode. In this mode, the ACU reads
the contents of the specified script file and creates
arrays and configures channel settings based on the
properties defined in the script.
The <file> is the name of the script file. It can include a
drive, directory, and file name and extension, but only
the file name is required. If no drive is specified, the
current default drive is used. If no directory is
specified, the current default directory is used. You can
include any extension or no extension.
Note that the ACU exits with an error if you do not
include either the /P or /R switch (but not both) on
the command line.
/R <file> Indicates record mode. In this mode, the ACU scans the
controller’s current array and channel configuration
and creates the specified script file based on the
configuration.
The <file> is the name of the script file. It can include a
drive, directory, and file name and extension, but only
the file name and extension (.MLC) are required. If no
drive is specified, the current default drive is used. If
no directory is specified, the current default directory
is used.
Note that the ACU exits with an error if you do not
include either the /P or /R switch (but not both) on the
command line.
