Description

Get or set the flags for the flash mode. Combinations of flags are possible. When called without parameter, FM returns the combination of all currently set flash mode values. These will in most cases include internal values not listed in the table below and which cannot be set through the FM command. To verify that a specific mode has been set, mask its bit value out of the returned flash mode.

<Flag>

[optional]

Value: <flag>

Function

empty

Return the current state of the flash mode as decimal value. There are some flags which are managed internally, so the return is not 0.

0

Resets all flags, which means that all the following flags are deactivated. This is the default state. Disables the external trigger as well (like 'ET 0').

0x20

Activate the JobIOSelection mode.

0x800

•USC-2: Activate the TCP/IP Telnet Port #23.

•USC-3: Telnet always on.

0x1000

•USC-2: Activate FTP Server.

•USC-3: FTP always on.

0x10000

Use Digi_In for the job selection. JobIOSelection mode needs to be activated with this flag: use always 0x10020;

0x20000

Keep the job loaded bit during the executing.

0x80000

In combination with the external trigger (ET 1), Opto_Out_3 displays "Ready For Trigger", like in the JobIOSelection mode. The SYNC command allows changing the output pin.

0x200000

JobIOSelection Internally: A pre-defined job will be selected after boot; the job can be selected using the command JNI;

JobIOSelection mode needs to be activated with this flag: use always 0x200020; External Stop does not send M 0, new Marking can be directly set via external Input.

To save, use the command SVG 1.

0x800000

Show the JobIOSelection input bits on the Digi_Out, if a valid job is selected.

0x4000000

•USC-2: Unused *.unf and *.ucf files will not be deleted from USC-3 flash memory by the USC Server.[*]

•USC-3: Not available.

Example

Command

Return

Note

FM 0x10020

0:

Compute the FM value: 0x20 + 0x10000 = 0x10020 to set both flags.

SVG

0:

Save this sate of the flash mode.

LDG

0:

Load global settings.

Notes

•The flags can be combined in any way. If a mode should only be set temporarily, don't execute the commands "SVG" and "LDG". The parameter <Flag> can be typed in as decimal, binary or hexadecimal value. Conversion is not required. The flag 0x20 can be activated using sc_usc_server.

•If the JobIOSelection mode is left, e.g. to change the job or for other tasks, and then is activated again, the FM flags will be restored to the state as before the JobIOSelection was left.

•For more information about the JobIOSelection mode in Flash, please look here.

•[*]: This flag is without effect for the USC-3 card itself because the card does not delete unused files when being rebooted. Only in combination with the USC Server, it takes effect because the USC Server deletes unused files when the USC-3 is reconnected.

Save

•Changes are saved with SVG.

•When not saved, changes are valid until the next reboot of the USC-Card.

•Saved changes are restored with LDG.

Restriction

•Set: not allowed during marking

•Digi_In for job selection works only in combination with JobIOSelection mode!

•The SVG command will only work if no JobIOSelection bit is being set. Otherwise you will receive an error message.

•JobIOSelection mode requires the flash license.

Errors

•1: Too many parameters

•5: Not allowed during marking

•6: Entity not found

•8: Parameter out of range
