NAME

saveplug − Save a code plug from xcat board into a file using xcatctl

SYNOPSIS

saveplug plugfile [nmodes]

DESCRIPTION

saveplug uses xcatctl to read the code plug out of an xcat board, and writes it to plugfile. If plugfile is - then saveplug writes to standard output. The code plug is read from the xcat board starting with mode 1, and continuing to the nmodes or until 32 modes have been loaded. The format of the hex file is as follows:

One line per mode

Sixteen bytes represented per line

Each byte is represented by two hex digits

Hex digit pairs are separated by a single space

This is the native output format for the syntorxgen (1) program.

saveplug calls xcatctl (1) once for each mode to be saved.

ENVIRONMENT

saveplug passes any command line arguments found in the XCATCTLARGS environment variable to xcatctl for its use. This is a good place to specify the serial device (COM port) to which your xcat board is connected.

The xcatctl program must be in the current path.

BUGS

Doubtless there are many.
