Software Setup and Operation
Once the Wait Command has been selected and a choice made from the pop-up screen, the
cursor will then move to the center of the PCX screen. Zeroes will appear in this field that
correspond to the number of External Lines selected in the Input Function Screen. The left-
most zero will correspond to the first line selected.
You now choose which lines to monitor during this step. You make this choice by entering a
“1” in the field corresponding to the line whose state you wish to monitor. Any field that has
a zero or an “X” will cause that line to be ignored during execution of this step.
Upload Data from Drive
When you select this option, PCX will read the values that are stored in the drive’s memory.
Next, PCX will save the data to a disk file name you specify. When completed, you may use
the newly created file for downloading to another drive, editing or printing. Uploading may
take a few minutes to complete. The “busy” pinwheel in the upper left corner indicates that
data is being transferred
.
Download Data File to Drive
When you select this option, PCX will list all files that have the extension “.PCX” in the
current directory. You may select a file from this list to download to the drive.
If the file you wish to download is located in another directory or on another drive, select the
“Change Directory” option, type the correct drive and directory, then press the <Enter> key,
all files ending in .PCX in the new directory will be displayed. When downloading a file, there
are two options available.
