Session

General settings that control the execution of Charon-VAX / Charon-PDP belong to an object called the "session". It is a preloaded object; therefore, only "set" commands are necessary. 

Example:

set session <parameter>=<value>

 

The following table describes all available "session" parameters, their meaning and examples of their usage:

hw_model

Parameter

hw_model

Type

Text string, case sensitive

Value

Virtual VAX/PDP11 system hardware model to be emulated.

Use a default configuration template for each particular model as a starting point for a custom configuration. This would ensure that the parameter is set correctly.

Example:

set session hw_model="VAX_6610"

Available models are:

PDP_1193
PDP_1194
MicroVAX_3100_Model_96
MicroVAX_3100_Model_98
MicroVAX_3600
MicroVAX_3900
MicroVAX_II
VAXserver_3600
VAXserver_3600
VAXserver_3600_128
VAXserver_3600_512
VAXserver_3900
VAXserver_3900_128
VAXserver_3900_512
VAX_4000_Model_106
VAX_4000_Model_108
VAX_4000_Model_700
VAX_4000_Model_705
VAX_6000_Model_310
VAXstation_4000_Model_90
VAX_6610
VAX_6620
VAX_6630
VAX_6640
VAX_6650
VAX_6660

configuration_name

Parameter

configuration_name

Type

Text string

Value

Name of the Charon-VAX / Charon-PDP instance (it must be unique):

set session configuration_name="MSCDV1"

  In provided templates this parameter is specified in the included configuration file "configuration_name.icfg".

The value of this parameter is used as a prefix to the event log file name (see below).

From the example above, the Charon-VAX / Charon-PDP log file will have the following name:

MSCDV1-YYYY-MM-DD-hh-mm-ss-xxxxxxxxx.log

xxxxxxxxx is an increasing decimal number starting from 000000000 to separate log files with the same time of creation (in case the log is being written faster than one log file per second).

It is strictly recommended to use the "configuration_name" parameter if more than one Charon instance runs on the same server.

log

Parameter

log

Type

Text string

Value

The log file or directory name is where the log file for each Charon-VAX / Charon-PDP execution session is stored.
