FIGURE C-8. GAL — GO TO ALTERNATE LANGUAGE COMMAND
Syntax: GAL
Function: Enables utility commands which change error handling defaults.
Description: This command enables the utility commands listed below. If no GAL command is issued, the default
conditions are T0, F1, and P1. Once the GAL command is issued, the appropriate utility command
may be sent to change the default condition.
Example: GAL Enables utility commands.
F0 Causes controller to ignore error conditions during FTH command.
TABLE C-3. CIIL ERROR HANDLING UTILITY COMMANDS
UTILITY COMMAND DESCRIPTION
T0
Instructs non-catastrophic error messages to be erased from memory if any
command is sent prior to STA command.
T1
Instructs non-catastrophic error messages to be stacked in memory until
STA command is sent.
F0 Fetch Mode 0. Ignores error conditions when performing FTH command.
F1
Fetch Mode 1. Reports any error conditions which are present during FTH
command.
P0
Power Loss Mode 0. Reports a power loss message only once until power
is restored to the power module.
P1
Power Loss Mode 1. Continuously reports a power loss message until
power is restored to the power module.
Note: The defaults are T0, F1 and P1
