DISPLAX Service – Parameter Syntax

Overview

When using DISPLAX Service from the command line, the same syntax is used to view a parameter’s current value or change that parameter. This unified syntax makes it easy to manage device settings locally or remotely in a consistent way.

General Command Syntax

To read or modify a parameter, use the following format:

displaxservice -a IP_ADDRESS --PARAMETER

Parameter Definitions

IP_ADDRESS

The IP address of the computer connected to the touch device you want to control.

• Use 127.0.0.1 to control devices connected to the local computer

• Use a valid local network IP address to control devices connected to a remote computer

Examples:

• Localhost: 127.0.0.1

• Remote host: 192.168.1.50

PARAMETER

The specific setting or option you want to:

• View (check its current value), or

• Modify (change its value)

The same parameter name is used for both actions.

Example Usage

View a Parameter Value

displaxservice -a 127.0.0.1 --example-parameter

This command returns the current value of the parameter.

Change a Parameter Value

displaxservice -a 127.0.0.1 --example-parameter value
or
displaxservice -a 127.0.0.1 --shield 1

This command updates the parameter value on the selected device.

Getting the List of Available Parameters

Before changing any settings, it is recommended to retrieve the list of supported parameters for a specific device. This ensures compatibility and prevents incorrect commands.

Refer to the DISPLAX Service help command to display all available parameters and their descriptions.

Best Practices

• Always verify the target IP address before running commands.

• Use localhost (127.0.0.1) when working on the same machine.

• Check parameter availability before attempting to modify values.

• Document parameter changes for troubleshooting and rollback purposes.
