PARTEST PET PE

Description:

Tests the current commands in effect for the parallel port by simulating control input. You can simulate input by arguing a string of hex digits as a single argument, and each one will be processed as if that was the current read of the parallel port. After all characters are processed, the last one will remain asserted and all inputs from the physical parallel port are ignored. When you want to re-enable reads from the physical port, issue this command with no arguments. If you want to view the simulation on the RS-232 port, turn the dump on by using the PARDUMP ON command.
