IBASIC Controller

Method #3. Developing Programs Using Word Processor on a PC (Least Preferred)

Transferring Programs from the Word Processor to

the Test Set

For short (less than 100 lines) programs, use an ASCII file transfer

utility on the PC to send the program, one line at a time, down to the

Test Set over RS-232 directly into the IBASIC Command Line field. The

Test Set must be configured to receive serial ASCII characters by

positioning the Test Set cursor at the IBASIC Command Line field as

explained under “Method #2. Developing Programs on the Test Set

Using the IBASIC EDIT Mode” on page 250. With this setup, when

ASCII characters are received they are sent to the IBASIC Command

Line field. When a carriage return / line feed is received, the Test Set

will parse the line into the IBASIC program memory. Each line takes

about two seconds to scroll in and be parsed. This becomes very time

consuming for long programs. An alternative for longer programs is

discussed later in this section.

To start the transfer process make sure there is no program in the Test

Set’s IBASIC RAM by executing a SCRATCH command from the

IBASIC Command Line.

The following example shows how to transfer a short program (<100

lines) using HyperTerminal.

1. Make sure the Test Set cursor is in the upper left of the IBASIC

Command Line field.

2. Select the Terminal application in the Accessories Group. Set it

up as described in earlier in this chapter.

3. Select the following:

• Settings

Text Transfers

Flow Control: Line at a Time

Delay Between Lines: 25/10 Sec

Word Wrap

Outgoing Text at Column: Off.

4. Select the following:

• Transfers

Send Text File

Following CR:

— Strip LF selected

Append LF not selected.

5. Select the text file to be transferred and begin the transfer by

selecting (OK).
