Using BCS to Access System Diagnostic Information
Instructions are provided for accessing the lowest level of verbosity for all components and for accessing
a specific level of verbosity for a specific component.
To access the lowest level of verbosity for all components:
1.
Enter ~scr! or ~scrv0i0!
Note: Either of these commands provides a “menu” of the identity numbers and their corresponding
components (FIG. 2 on page 45).
Only one verbosity setting and one component setting can be entered in a command. The order in which
the verbosity and component identity settings are entered is interchangeable.
To access a specific level of verbosity for a specific component:
1.
Enter ~scr (to access the splash screen).
2. Enter the verbosity level setting v# and the component’s identity setting i#.
Either may be specified first.
3. Enter ! (to send the command).
