Debugging Commands - CipherLab 8 Series User Manual

DEBUGGING COMMANDS

The command START_DEBUG will write the activities happening on the system to a
specified COM port. It is very useful when user needs to monitor the system or diagnose
a problem.
When START_DEBUG is executed, the system will send a series of messages to a
specified COM port until the command STOP_DEBUG is executed. Refer to the table
below listing debugging messages.
START_DEBUG
Purpose
Syntax
Remarks
To start the debug function.
START_DEBUG(N%, Baudrate%, Parity%, Data%, Handshake%)
Parameters Values
N% 1 or 2 or 5
Baudrate% 1: 115200 bps
2: 76800 bps
3: 57600 bps
4: 38400 bps
5: 19200 bps
6: 9600 bps
7: 4800 bps
8: 2400 bps

2: Odd
3: Even
Data% 1: 7 data bits
2: 8 data bits
Handshake% 1: None
2: CTS/RTS

another COM port for debugging to avoid conflicts. COM port type must be
specified before using START_DEBUG.
Remarks
Indicates which COM port is to be set.
Specifies the baud rate of the COM port.
Specifies the parity of the COM port.
Specifies the data bits of the COM port.
Specifies the method of flow control for the
