Syntax:

#DCC [ON/OFF] [CALL=.. [I<i>=..] [F<j>=..] { I<i>=..}{ F<j>=..} ]

 

ON

Activate Dynamic Contour Control, analogous to P-CHAN-00384.

OFF

Deactivate Dynamic Contour Control, analogous to P-CHAN-00384.

CALL=..

Type of methods used for Dynamic Contour Control.

Permitted identifiers:

  • DEFAULT - The method in P-CHAN-00385 is used (default)
  • EXTERNAL - A customer-specific method is used

I<i>=..

SGN32 value, analogous to the P-CHAN-00389 parameter.

where i=0 - 3.

The equals sign is mandatory,
e.g. I2=17

F<j>=..

REAL64 value, analogous to the P-CHAN-00388 parameter.

where j=0 - 3.

The equals sign is mandatory,
e.g. F2=3.45
