Motion Perfect Tools
Section 7-5
Up to four Terminal Windows can be opened simultaneously over the single
serial port. Channel 0 must be used to issue commands. Channels 5, 6 and 7
can be used to provide I/O windows to programs running on the MC Unit.
Channel Number
The Channel Number Combo Box can be used to select one of the valid
async communications channels.
VT100 Emulation
The MC Unit expects to talk to a terminal that accepts the DEC VT100 termi-
nal protocol. This setting can be used for the Terminal Window to emulate a
VT100 terminal.
ASCII Emulation
This mode will echo the ASCII description for the non-printing characters
received. Also, CR and LF will cause the corresponding action.
7-5-2
Editor
This section describes the Editor used to edit BASIC programs for the MC
Unit. The Editor is a fully featured Windows-based tool. An Editor Window will
be opened when a new program is created or an existing program is selected
for editing.
When the cursor is moved off the current line, any changes made to this line
are sent to the MC Unit, which performs syntax checking, tokenises the line
(all recognized BASIC keywords are converted to upper case), and returns
the tokenised result to the window. When an Editor Window is closed, the
project file is updated with the modified program.
Note It is not possible to open a new Editor Window while any program is running
on the MC Unit.
