Commands
- Help (Command)
Help is available for the following commands and topics. Type "help <topic>" for more information.
Note that all commands are case insensitive.
Get Retrieve the value of a variable.

Unset Returns a parameter to its built-in default. (Only available for certain parameters.)
Parameters List parameters you are authorized to view or modify.
Restart Restart the region after a specified amount of time (default 5mins)
- Get (Command)
Syntax: get <parameter>
Retrieve the current value of a simulator or region variable. Note that if the variable was set since the region was restarted, the new value will be returned rather than the value used when the region started. This can be significant for some variables. For more information, see "help <variable>". To retrieve the value of a variable used at startup, use "get -s <variable>".
- Set (Command)
Syntax: set <variable> <value>
Sets the value of a simulator or region variable. Note that some variable will not take effect until the region is restarted. This behavior will typically be specified in the parameter's description (see: "help variables")."
Value Format Examples:
Integer: 1234 or -435 0xffeb6194
