Cassette Tape Operations
Operation/Description
Modes*
Key sequence
Program Memory Save
Copies data from the Program
Memory to tape. The file no. specified
in the instructions provides an
identifying address for the
information within the tape. Each file
number should be used only once per
tape. If only a part of the Program
Memory is to be stored, the
appropriate start and stop addresses
must be entered. Each C60 tape can
store approximately 16K words on
each side of the tape. When the start
address is entered, the maximum
stop address is set as the default. Do
not set a stop address greater than
this one. If you wish to record past
this address the additional
information will need to be recorded
either on the flip side of the tape or on
a separate tape. After starting the
tape recorder, wait about 5 seconds
before pressing SHIFT REC/RESET.
This is to allow the leader tape to
pass before the data transmission
starts.

Program Memory Restore
To read Program Memory data which
has been recorded on a cassette
tape, the keystrokes are as given
here. The file number must be the
same as the one entered when the
data was recorded. The read
operation will proceed from the
specified start address up to the end
of the tape, unless halted by a CLR
command. The instruction must be
completed before the required data is
reached on the tape, i.e., usually
before the leader tape finishes.

Program Memory Compare
The procedure to compare Program
Memory data stored on a tape with
that in the PC’s Program Memory
area is the same as that for reading it
(see above), except that after starting
the tape playback, VER should be
pressed instead of SHIFT and
PLAY/SET.

DM Data Save, Restore, Compare
The procedures for transferring DM
area data to and from tape, and for
comparing it, are basically the same
as for the Program Memory, given
above. The exceptions are that start
and stop addresses are not required,
and the DM area is specified instead
of the Program Memory. Each
operation will continue through to the
end of the tape unless cancelled by
pressing CLR.

5 second leader tape**
*Modes in which the given instruction is applicable: R = RUN, M = MONITOR, P = PROGRAM
**These times take the cassette leader tape into consideration according to the following:
a) When recording to tape, the leader tape needs to be allowed to pass before the data transmission to the tape player starts.
