The TTY monitor includes a feature to load and store programs from paper tape. But wait, you don’t have a
paper tape machine? Well, yes you do, in a way. Hyper Terminal can act as a paper tape machine to load and
store programs. Let’s take you through the whole process. Read chapter 7 on using the TTY serial interface
before proceeding.
Storing a program:
First step is to power up your Micro-KIM with jumper block on JP2 and press RS on the keypad and Enter on
your PC to bring up the monitor. Next step is to enter your program and make sure it is working correctly. Next,
you need to enter the vector variables for the paper-tape so that it knows where your program ends. 17F7 and
17F8 contains the ending address for your program. So let’s say, your program starts at 0200 and ends at 0300.
Program 17F7 and 17F8 with the following values:
17F7 00.
17F8 03.
17F7 contains the lower byte value of the address and 17F8 contains the upper byte to the address. Next, type in
200 and press the space bar on your PC to bring up the starting address.
In Hyper Terminal you can click on Transfer at the top and Capture Text in the drop down list as show in
figure 11.
