Search and Replace defaults
When you select the
Search and Replace defaults
option from the Setup and
Configuration menu, you get a list box with three types of searches. When you
highlight one of these and select it, you get a dialog box with parameters for that
specific type of search.
These parameters are the defaults that define how the search is conducted. When
the actual search is performed in Edit mode, a nearly identical screen appears, with
the search parameters as you entered them. They can be altered at the time of the
search, and remain altered until you quit; however, they revert back to the default
values entered here the next time you run the BASIC Development Software.
User-defined keystroke macros can be created to select desired search and replace
settings. Keystroke macros are described in Chapter 4.
For details and descriptions of these parameters, refer to the help screens.

Terminal Selection Menu
The
Terminal Selection Menu
option from the Setup and Configuration menu
allows you to select the Terminal Emulation mode desired for communicating with
your BASIC or BASIC-T module. The following three Terminal modes are
available:
•
RS-232 Terminal Mode

allows you to communicate to the RS-232 program
port (Prt1) of the module
•
DH485 Terminal Mode

allows you to communicate to the DH485 port of
the module
•
General Purpose Communications Terminal Mode — allows you to use your
personal computer as a general purpose communications terminal. In this
mode, your personal computer can be used as an ASCII terminal that supports
phone/modem dialing. This mode should
not be used for communication to
the module.
Refer to the SLC 500™ BASIC and BASIC-T Modules User Manual (publication
number 1746-UM004A-US-P), for information on connecting and
communicating with the module or other port device through the Terminal mode.
