3.2 WDT2200 Modes of Operation
There are three modes of operation in the WDT2200:
a. Ready Mode
b. User Mode
c. Supervisor Mode
3.2.1 Ready Mode
The Ready mode is the default operating mode. In the Ready mode, the WDT2200 is configured as a
portable programmable device, and is capable of receiving files (Download) from or transmitting
files (Upload) to a Host PC. Data files or recorded information collected from the WDT2200 are
uploaded to the host whenever the host program is ready to receive the collected data. Some
applications may also require prepared data files (e.g. database information). These data files are
loaded to the WDT2200 in the same manner as application programs are downloaded. The
WDT2200 carries out upload and download operations through its built-in RS232 port. The operator
can later select one of the executable applications to run in the portable terminal via the keypad or
host command sequence.
After the
Warm Start
, the WDT2200 enters the Ready mode and shows the Ready mode screen as
shown left. The first line indicates the model code and BIOS firmware version number. The second
line shows the size of the installed RAM. The third line shows the prompt, ">" which indicates that
the terminal passed the Power-on-test and is in the Ready mode of operation.
