• When a successful connection has been established between the DX-80 processor and the PC PC-DBA
software the following icon displays in the upper left corner of the PC-DBA screen:
[Cnt]
• Press any key to return to the PC-DBA programming screens. At this time F4-Send and F3-Receive
operations can be performed.
F6 – Disconnect
Disconnecting from the DX-80 processor
• When a link is established between the DX-80 and PC-DBA, this link must also be broken when Send and
Receive operations are complete. This breakdown of the connection will occur automatically if the
connection path (cable or modem connection) is interrupted or when PC-DBA is exited while the link is
active.
• To force a disconnect between the DX-80 processor and PC-DBA, press F6-Disconnect. This procedure is
usually successful within only a few seconds.
F7 – Print
• At times a database printout is desirable. This utility allows printing of each PC-DBA screen. Printout
requires that this screen be in use at the time F7 is pressed. (Note: It is often more convenient to use
Database Save and view a database configuration through PC-DBA rather than reviewing the database via
hard copy.)
• F7-Print also requires that a printer be connected to the PC Parallel port to operate.
F8 – Initialize
In the programming process it is often desirable to revert to factory defaults. F8-Initialize provides this utility.
While in the various database programming menus press F8-Init to Initialize the current category of
programming. Keep in mind that when F8-Init is used, the data is only saved when the programming screen
is exited and only sent to the DX-80 CPM when the F4-Send operation is invoked.
