IBASIC Controller
Uploading Programs from the Test Set to a PC
Uploading Programs from the Test Set to a PC
As an overview, the following steps must be performed:
1. The Test Set must output the program over Serial Port 9.
2. The PC must receive the data through its serial port and direct the
data to a file on disk. This can be done by a terminal emulator
program such as HyperTerminal or ProComm. This requires having
the serial port connection established as outlined in “Interfacing to
the IBASIC Controller using Serial Ports” on page 230.
To configure the Test Set to output the program to Serial Port 9 position
the cursor on the IBASIC Command Line field. Execute the command
PRINTER IS 9. This command sets Serial Port 9 as the default printer
port. When PRINT commands are executed, ASCII characters will be
sent to Serial Port 9.
On the PC, select Receive Text File in HyperTerminal or Receive
Files (PgDn which is called Download) in ProComm. Enter a file name,
then initiate the file transfer. The PC is now looking for ASCII text to
come in the serial port.
Load the program to be transferred into the Test Set. Execute the
IBASIC LIST command on the IBASIC Command Line. The program
listing will be sent to Serial Port 9 and be received by the terminal
emulator software on the PC. When the listing is finished, terminate
the file transfer by selecting Stop on Windows or Escape on ProComm.
