This page contains a list of engineering commands accepted by the engineering interface and the operating system. Clicking on the command will produce the description.
Operating System Engineering Commands
The first group of commands are issued directly to the operating system
at the OS/9 prompt as they are either part of the operating system or are
implemented as standalone programs. These commands may be used during normal
operation of the instrument unlike some of the test programs which are
not designed to be used which the robot is operational.

Engineering Interface Engineering Commands
The following commands are issued to the control system via the engineering
interface. The engineering command interface is started by typing eng [return]
at the OS/9 prompt on the micro computer. The OS/9 prompt may be obtained
either at the engineering terminal (if connected) or by logging into the
micro computer as Autofib using a telnet link. When started the engineering
interface prompts the user to enter the HELP command for further information
if necessary, typing HELP allows the user to access a very simple help
menu, typing HELP followed by the command name gives the user basic information
about the command and it required parameters. Commands are not case sensitive.
