using XMC execute CLI commands …

searching for a command which makes a pause between 2 commands like:

show port X error no-refresh

pause 10

show port X error no-refresh

(sleep X or time.sleep X from XMC scripting does not work!)

Any ideas ?

Hello Matthias,

you can't switch to TCL in CLI Command, that's correct. As far as I know CLI Command is a plain command input option without an intepreter, therefore you have to switch to task an TCL.

But as I wrote in difference to python no further code is necessary (only three lines from your example) therefore the code part is not realy complexe only the menus to start a script and select an name and usergroup is more complexe.

Hi Matthias, the set var wait command will just take 10 seconds (10000 msec) and then XMC sees the prompt and continues.

I think it will work as long as the wait is not longer than XMC has defined its timeout.

If you need more sophisticated tasks in XMC use a python script instead of the command CLI script.

Hi Oskar,

that’s a good idea but only works with EXOS.

I am looking for a pause command within XMC cli task.

BR,

Matthias

enable cli scripting

show port x error no-refresh

set var wait $TCL(after 10000)

show port x error no-refresh

Did not test it with XMC but it is working on EXOS.
