JLS Startup File

The JLS startup file is used to force various circuit properties when JLS is run in batch mode. The startup file is ignored if JLS is started up in interractive mode.

The parameter file is read in order and each specification is processed in order. For example, to make exactly one register (say PC) be watched and everything else not watched, first specify that all elements be unwatched, then make the PC watched.

Note that all parameter file information is case sensitive. Otherwise no special formatting is required, other than words and numbers must be separated by white space (one or more spaces, tabs and/or new lines). If any errors are encountered when JLS reads the parameter file, an error message is printed and JLS terminates immediately.
