STM Online Help: xstm Online Help (graphical interface)
See also Tool Launch.
Queries are Displayed Immediately
The "Queries are Displayed Immediately" checkbox controls the behavior of queries. When a non-interactive support
tool attempts to display a query, the question will be presented to you immediately, provided the checkbox is set. If the
checkbox is not set, the status is changed to "Query Pending", but xstm does not automatically display the query. You
must then click the device box (or use the "Tool Management" command) to invoke the "Display Query Pending"
function to respond to the query. The checkbox defaults to the unset state.
Ask for Confirmation Before Replacing Files
Select this checkbox, when you want to be prompted before the user interface overwrites any files. This only applies to
files which you select via the file selection dialogs generated by the user interface. It does not apply to log files.
Update Host Info in System Dialogs Automatically
Select this checkbox when you want information about your host systems to be updated dynamically whenever you
invoke one of the "Select System to Test" dialogs.
Stop Running Command File If An Error Occurs
If you are executing a command file (a series of cstm commands saved in a file), and an error condition is
encountered, command file execution will terminate immediately, provided you have selected this option.
Terminate Wait Command If Any Tool Not Successful
Enabling this option will allow you to change the normal behavior of the "wait" command, in order to deal
immediately with a failed tool condition, instead of having to wait until all currently invoked operations have
completed execution.
The "wait" command, found only in cstm, is used to force the interface to complete all currently invoked operations,
before continuing to execute any new operations. The command is routinely inserted into command files as they are
being recorded, in order to ensure that sequential commands are not executed simultaneously at playback time.
It will have no effect on xstm behavior.
Cstm Pager
The "Cstm Pager" field allows you to specify a program to be used to control the output of the "map", "help", and log
viewing functions to the terminal. If this field is blank, the output is written to the terminal or other output device
without interruptions. If used from a terminal, however, the output may scroll beyond the top of the terminal. In such a
case, you may want to specify that the "Cstm Pager" be "more". The default state is "more -d".
This option has no effect on xstm behavior.
Printers
The "Printers" list box shows the different printers configured on the system on which xstm is being run. The printer
which is selected when the "OK" button is hit, is the one which will be the default printer for subsequent print
operations. The default printer is the system default printer.
