Syntax Rules in Interactive Control

The following special rules apply to making calls from the Interactive Control utility:

• The ud or BoardId parameter is implied by the Interactive Control prompt, therefore it is never included in the call.
• Except for reads, the count parameter to calls is unnecessary because buffer lengths are automatically determined by Interactive Control.
• Function return values are handled automatically by Interactive Control. In addition to printing out the return Ibsta value for the function, it also prints other return values.
• If you do not know what parameters are appropriate to pass to a given function call, type in the function name and press <Enter>. The Interactive Control utility then prompts you for each required parameter.
