2.3.1 Entering Commands Method

Note: Although the MPLAB X IDE can run multiple tools simultaneously, the MDB will run only one tool at a time. However, you can have multiple instances of the MDB running. Refer to 2.5 Using Multiple Instances of the MDB for details.

Entering commands is a step-by-step method to run a test with MDB. Once the MDB is running, you can start entering commands. Note that while the MDB commands are not case-sensitive, the property options and file names are case-sensitive.

Type help for a list of classes of commands in MDB. Refer to 3 MDB Reference, Table 3-1.

For other commands available, see 3 MDB Reference, Table 2-2 through Table 2-10.
