Reboot, remount, refresh commands

The VTAP reader supports a few direct commands, that are sent by creating and saving a text file called command.txt. They are reboot, remount, and refresh.

Example: command.txt file

Copy
!VTAPcommand
    
reboot
; Valid commands are reboot, remount or refresh
  • Reboot will power cycle the VTAP reader, as if the USB cable was disconnected momentarily.
  • Remount will remove the drive from the operating system briefly and then attach it again. This will force the operating system to re-read any changes that were made to the file system by the VTAP reader. Windows may not recognize the changes made to text files by the VTAP reader, but if you use the remount command, Windows will re-read all of the files.
  • Refresh will force the VTAP reader to re-read config.txt. This is needed if you have renamed a file to be config.txt, as renaming is not otherwise noticed.
