Section 6. Data Table Declarations and Output Processing Instructions
6-8
6.3 Export Data Instructions
DSP4 (FlagVar, Rate)
Send data to the DSP4. If this instruction appears inside a DataTable, the
DSP4 can display the fields of this Table, otherwise, the Public Variables are
used by the DSP4. The Instruction can only be used once in a program; hence,
only the public variables or a single data table can be viewed.
Parameter
& Data Type
Enter
DSP4 Parameters
FlagVar
Array
The variable array to use for the 8 flags that can be displayed and toggled by the DSP4. A value of 0 =
low;
≠
0 = high. If the array is dimensioned to less than 8, the DSP4 will only work with the flags up to
the dimension. The array used for flags in the Real Time displays of PC9000 is Flag ().
Rate
Constant
How frequently to send new values to the DSP4 in milliseconds.
Example
DSP4 (Flag( ), 200)
Use Flag( ) to work with the buttons, update the DSP4 display every 200 msec.
(5 times a second).
FlashOut (Size)
Used to store data in Flash memory. Used inside DataTable to indicate the
table is stored in Flash memory. Flash Memory is always fill and stop.
FlashOut cannot be used in a DataTable that uses the WorstCase instruction.
Parameter
& Data Type
Enter
FlashOut Parameters
Size
Constant
The size to make the data table. The number of data sets (records) to allocate memory for in Flash
Memory. Each time a variable or interval trigger occurs, a line (or row) of data is output with the
number of values determined by the output Instructions within the table. This data is called a record.
The total number of records stored equals the size..
Note Enter a negative number and all remaining memory (after creating fixed size data tables) will
be allocated to the table or partitioned between all tables with a negative value for size. The
partitioning algorithm attempts to have the tables fill at the same time.
PamOut (Slot, Card, StopRing, Size)
Used to send output data to the PCMCIA card. This instruction creates a data
table on the specified PCMCIA card in the PAM module. PamOut must be
entered within each data table declaration that is to store data on a PCMCIA
card.
