DartDisk User Guide

Calling DartDisk from DOS

A DartDisk command can also be run from a DOS batch file. This avoids entering

parameters manually into the parameter setup screen, to perform the same process repeatedly.

Create a one-line .bat file containing the command line text, such as "dartdisk a 2 60 50000

10 s myfile" without the quotes. Then either 1) double-click on this file in Windows

Explorer, or 2) open a DOS window (in the Start menu, click Programs | Accessories |

Command Prompt) and type the .bat file name.

Status File

DartDisk writes acquisition and playback status files to enable communication with a calling

program. These files are called DartDiskAcqStatus.txt and DartDiskPlayStatus.txt, and are

located in the DartDisk program directory. These files contain one line in the format

status = status

where status is the status of the current I/O process:

ACTIVE = in progress

DONE = successfully completed

ABORTED = aborted by the user

ERROR = terminated by the program due to error

Normally, status will be ACTIVE during acquisition or playback and DONE after the I/O

process completes. The user can call DartDisk from SIGNAL, then poll the status file (using

RA family commands) to determine when the I/O process has completed and whether it was

successful.

9. Operating Hints and Troubleshooting

Following are operating hints and troubleshooting guidelines for the DartDisk system.

I/O Board Not Present or Disabled

DartDisk will display the following error message if the I/O board is not present or disabled.

Note that removable I/O devices, such as PCMCIA cards and USB units, may need to be

removed and reinserted after the system is restored from Standby, even when Device

Manager reports the device as installed and "working properly". If the I/O device is

removable, remove and reinsert it. If the error persists, reboot the computer. If the error still

persists, uninstall and reinstall the system driver and board driver for the I/O device.
