MAGIC software utility:
The MAGIC software is provided as a tool to help the user become familiar with
the I/O PLEXER instruction set. This program incorporates a menu driver “step
by step” approach to building any instruction. Once an instruction is developed,
it may be sent to the I/O PLEXER. MAGIC will then report the I/O PLEXER’s
response to that instruction thus completing one Host to I/O PLEXER exchange.
In transmission/ response, MAGIC will also capture groups of instructions into
macros to be sent automatically. These macros can be named and stored for
future use making them handy for system setup and local control functions.
The disk is located in the back of this manual. 3.5" diskettes are shipped
standard.
To install this software create a directory called MAGIC and copy the contents of
the diskette to that directory.
MAGIC will prompt the user for the communication port (it has been reported
that Com 3 and Com 4 may not behave properly with MAGIC), of the Host
computer, the baud rate, the master control address of the I/O PLEXER. Once all
of this information has been entered, the user is ready to start building
instructions and sending them to the I/O PLEXER.
Note:
The MAGIC software has not been revised for quite some time and
therefore has not been updated with some of the more recent features
of the I/O PLEXER. This includes digital expanders 2 and 3.
