PARAMS

Utility

Description

The PARAMS utility allows you to examine and change internal

ISE parameters such as node name, allocation class, and MSCP

unit number. You can also use PARAMS to display the state of

the ISE and performance statistics maintained by the ISE.

The PARAMS program is an interactive, customer accessible

DUP local program that functions as both a parameter editor

(similar to the VMS SYSGEN utility) and a utility to display

status, history, and counters. PARAMS also performs well as a

manufacturing tool for gauging the goodness of the drive.

PARAMS polls for control characters (note that the DUP server

strips control characters of interest out of the input stream and

sets control ﬂags). PARAMS processes control characters as

follows:

Character Function

CTRL/Y Terminates the program

CTRL/C Terminates the program

CTRL/Z Terminates the program

CTRL/R Ignored

CTRL/W Ignored

CTRL/G Emulates VMS CTRL/T behavior
