Command Line Usage

I need to use the command line interface to the ICD programmer for an automatic test application. I have used the "icd -Txxx.hex" program download switch successfully but would like to know if there are any additional command line switches to perform other ICD functions such as Target Detect, Test Target, Comm Test, etc.
Thanks.

Look in the ICD help file: c:\Program Files\Picc\ICD.CHM
It lists three more command line switches, other than /T.
Find the help file in Windows Explorer and click on it to view it.

If you want to search for any secret commands that may exist,
use a program such as WinHex to view all the ICD related files
in the c:\Program Files\Picc folder and sub-folders.

Thanks PCM,
My ICD.CHM file is dated from 2003. What chapter did you find the other switches?

I downloaded and installed the latest version of "ICD Software (Windows)" from the following page:
http://www.ccsinfo.com/downloads.php
It has the help file that lists the new commands.

If you do install this version, you may also have to install the latest
firmware and windows drivers. So if you just want to look at the
help file, you should probably install it on a different PC.

Thanks again. The new help file does have the commands as you stated. The only one that looks useful is +L which will allow me to easily verify any errors after a command line programming operation.
