Chapter 3, Commands
When you use the 9000 with PGMX there are 2 different forms of
commands you can issue. One is for PGMX and the other is for the
9000. See the PGMX chapter for commands for PGMX. This chapter
explains commands for the Model 9000.
PGMX also has 2 modes— the “interactive” mode and the “automat-
ion” mode. Interactive mode allows you to communicate with the
9000 to issue the following commands to the console, and the auto-
mation mode allows you to automatically issue some of these same
commands in the proper sequence to the 9000 to “read” an eprom
to a disk or program an eprom from a disk with various options. All
of the commands listed for the 9000 can be issued interactively for
PGMX. Commands that are handled automatically by PGMX (in the
automation mode) in the paragraphs below, will have the word
“automated” at the end of the explanation.
The following are the commands that can be used on the 9000. Most
people that use PGMX will not have to use any of these commands
except for the “Toggle” and “Menu” commands. All of the com-
mands can be executed from most kinds of terminal emulators or
modem programs.
: Intel Hex Program
When the model 9000 is in the command state, receipt of a colon
is interpreted as the lead character in an Intel hex record. The
9000 automatically enters the program mode and programs the
data contained in the hex record at the address specified in the
header of the hex record. The check sum is verified at the end of
the hex record and the model 9000 then returns to the command
state but does not reissue the command prompter unless the
record happened to be the END record. This is done in anticipa-
tion of another hex record, i.e., all characters from the hex file,
sent to the Model 9000 will be echoed back to the user with no
additions or deletions. Power to the programming socket is not
turned off until an end record or error occurs.
If a data error, checksum error, or syntax error occurs during the
file transfer, the 9000 will issue the appropriate error message and
abort back to the command state.
