Read a setup file
Shows what the Setup File Editor would show, without opening it. Nothing is changed.
Where
%TLS_ROOT_PATH%\tls\sup\<name>.sup (e.g. C:\Program Files (x86)\Yokogawa\CIServer\tls\sup).
The file list with descriptions is what the Setup File Editor shows on start.
Active settings
Lines that do not start with ! are the settings in use:
$f = Join-Path $env:TLS_ROOT_PATH 'tls\sup\wflidi.sup'
Select-String -Path $f -Pattern '^\s*[^!\s]'
Example result (wflidi.sup, installed defaults): FLOW_CONTROL = 30, TIMER = 20,
SCAN_TIME = 0, RETRY_COUNT = 3, QUEUE_BUSY_LEVEL = 10, DUR_QUEUE_SIZE = 500,
NODE = -1, 1000, 0.1, 30, LOCK_TIMEOUT = 60.
A keyword that has no active line uses the program's built-in default (see its help).
Meaning of a keyword
Each keyword is described in a !KEYWORD : … block: label and unit (!ARG1 = label,unit),
type (!KIND), limits (!OPTIONS) and help (!HELP/!KEYHELP). Show the block:
Select-String -Path $f -Pattern '^!KEYWORD\s*:\s*TIMER\b' -Context 0,10
For TIMER this shows label Clear cache after, unit sec, kind number, option pos.
Tabs and description
Select-String -Path $f -Pattern '^!(DESCRIPTION|TAB)\s*='
!TAB lines give the editor's tabs; a keyword belongs to the last !TAB above it.
Keywords before the first !TAB appear on a General tab in the editor (checked on
wfla_display.sup). Active values that differ from the !DEFAULT block show as Status
Changed in the editor.
Notes
- Use the Setup File Editor tabs and labels when talking to the user; the keyword names are
what is in the file. Keyword tables for the user-interface files are in
knowledge/manuals/IM36K10R10-01EN.md§4. - Trust the installed file over the manual. The alarm item/display relation file is
wfla_display.sup(the manual sayswfla_displays.sup), and some installed values differ from the manual's defaults (seeknowledge/issues.mdISS-012 to ISS-015). - Some files have no
!DESCRIPTION.
