ROBOTICA Data 11/05/00

Introduction
The C3G_CNVT tool is a DOS tool that converts C3G.SYS files from a binary format to an
ASCII human readable format. The tool operates by reading in the specified SYS file into local
memory and then printing out the values of found and known system variables. The tool is
able to handle different versions with the current release able to handle versions: 5.2x, 5.3x, 5.4x,
5.5x and 5.6x.

Usage
To use the conversion tool specify the input file (normally c3g.sys) and the output file (c3g.txt)

C3G_CNVT c3g.sys c3g.txt

The information is displayed by sub-groups: global system variables, arm related system
variables ($ARM_DATA) and servo control system variables ($SC_DATA).

Installation
To install the tool, copy C3G_CNVT.EXE to any directory which is either in the path list or the
current directory.

Options
The /h option prints out the Help information..

Example
The command:

C3G_CNVT old.sys old.txt

converts the binary file old.sys in an ASCII file old.txt.

C3G_CNVT /h
prints out the help information.

Error Messages
Most of the error messages are the same as the standard C3G error messages. Use the PCINT tool
for inquiring about the meaning of a single error or for generating the file with the description of
each COMAU error. Error numbers less than 0 are normally associated with the operating system.
