XMP Configuration Utility

Command-Line Syntax

The config utility is located in the XMP\bin\WinNT directory of your MPI/XMP installation path. The command-line syntax is as follows:

config [-ram|-flash] [-map map-file] get output-file [object[#] ...]


config [-ram|-flash] [-map map-file] set input-file [object[#] ...]


Options:

-ram use XMP's volatile memory (default)
-flash use XMP's non-volatile (flash) memory
-map use map-file in place of the default input map file
map-file filename of input map file

 

 

 

 

 

NOTICE

The default input map file is named xmp###.map where ### is the firmware version number for which the config utility was built. It is installed into the XMP\bin\WinNT directory of your MPI/XMP installation path.

The input map file will be searched for in the directory from which the config utility was executed, the current directory, the Windows system directory (system32), the Windows directory and the directories in the PATH environment variable.

 

get get configuration from XMP RAM or flash and save to
output-file
set load configuration from input-file and set XMP RAM or flash
output-file path/filename for output configuration file
input-file path/filename for input configuration file
object MPI object(s) to get/set.

 

 

 

 

 

Case-sensitive values for object are:

  • adc[#]
  • axis[#]
  • capture[#]
  • control
  • dac[#]
  • eventmgr
  • filter[#]
  • motion[#]
  • motor[#]
  • node[#]
  • recorder
  • sequence[#]
  • sercos[#]

The absence of a number (i.e. #) immediately following an object on the command line indicates that all objects of that type are selected. Otherwise, only the object specified by the number is selected. Objects must be separated by a space. If no objects are specified, all objects are selected.
