Chapter 2. Communication

Terminal Emulation

Once the operating system has been downloaded, an application program can be run on the

controller. The DOS Support Disk provides six terminal emulator programs to allow direct

communication with the controller (see table below).

Directory Terminal Emulator Program Name

FASTTERM FASTTERM.COM

MC6ØTERM MC6ØTERM.EXE

MC6ØTRMI MC6ØTRMI.EXE

QB45TERM QB45TERM.EXE

TC2ØTERM TC2ØTERM.EXE

TP5ØTERM TP5ØTERM.EXE

To initiate any one of the terminal emulator programs, simply change to the directory that

contains the terminal emulator program you wish to use, and type the name of the terminal

emulator program at the DOS prompt.

All of the terminal emulator programs, except MC6ØTRMI.EXE, provide the same interface to

the controller, and are all written in different programming languages. MC6ØTRMI.EXE

provides a terminal emulator interface to the controller; however, this program takes advantage

of the controller's interrupt capability. To use a terminal emulator program (i.e.

FASTTERM.COM, MC6ØTERM.EXE, etc.) to download a text file containing the 6000 Series

commands, simply invoke the terminal emulator program and press function key 1 (F1).

Downloading Application Programs from the DOS prompt (C:\>)

To use the DOWNLOAD.EXE program, place the display option, the address, and the text file

name on the command line (syntax is DOWNLOAD1 768

textfile.nme

). For a description of

the display options, type DOWNLOAD without any command line arguments.

Once a text file has been downloaded into the controller, the programs contained within the

text file can be initiated by either typing the name of the program when in a terminal

emulator, or by using the START.EXE program contained on the DOS Support Disk.

Example

For example, assume the text file MYPROG.TXT contained these three 6000 language

programs:

Program: apple Program: pear Program: peach

DEF apple

A1Ø,1Ø,1Ø,1ØØ

V1,1,1,1

D2ØØØØ,2ØØØØ,6ØØØØ,6ØØØØ

GO1111

END

DEF pear

A1ØØ,1ØØ,1ØØ,1ØØ

V1Ø,1Ø,1Ø,1Ø

D1ØØØ,1ØØØ,5ØØ,5ØØ

GO1111

GO11ØØ

GOØØ11

END

DEF peach

apple

pear

apple

pear

END

To initiate the program called peach after it has been downloaded via a terminal emulator,

simply type peach within the terminal emulator.

To download and initiate the program peach from the command line, or from a batch file,

simply state:

DOWNLOAD

<device address> textfile.1 textfile.2 textfile.3 ...

START

<device address> program_name

e.g. DOWNLOAD1 768 MYPROG.TXT

START 768 peach
