Command

To the right of the ‘>’ command prompt is command drop down box. The user can type any

commands to be executed by the M300 system. The commands are stored in the drop down list.

Most recent at the top.

The number of commands in the history is selected in (See “History Count, File, Project, Window,

Command” on page 77).

Once the command is typed and ready to be executed, the user must hit the “enter” key.

If the M300 is in acquisition mode and the data is being acquired all commands are stored in the

command buffer, under the reserved command tag.

The M300 will “store” all commands valid or not. If the user wants to type some comments to be

saved in the raw binary data, he can do so in the command window.

SelectandExecute

Toggle select and execute. When this button is pressed, any command selected from the list is

immediately executed by the M300.

This doesn’t allow the M300 to make any changes to the command before they are executed.

Some times it is necessary to type similar commands as the ones in the history. This allows the user to

pick a command and make modifications before they are executed by the M300.

ExecuteandClear

Toggle execute and clear. If this button is pressed after the command is executed, the command

prompt will be cleared. This allows the user to type a new command without having to delete/modify

the command line.

If the execute and clear is not depressed, then the command line will not be cleared after the

command is executed. This allows the user to use the current command to make modifications.

M300TABS

These provide a convenient way to switch between different types of M300 information and

controls. They provide access to the status, acquisition, playback, window, project and usage panels.

See the description for the data in each of the tabs in the next few sections.

STATUSERRORMESSAGE

This line of text provides a quick look to the last error message generated by the M300. It is viewable

regardless of which display tab is visible.

The M300Logger has all error messages. The M300 status error message allow the user a quick pick

at the last error message.
