Downloading
Downloading a file requires that you connect your personal computer to the
module using the configurations described in the SLC 500 BASIC and BASIC-T
Modules User Manual (publication number 1746-UM004A-US-P). Module
jumpers should be set to support that configuration per the SLC 500™ BASIC and
BASIC-T Modules User Manual (publication number 1746-UM004A-US-P).
Before downloading, you also must select the correct terminal type through the
Configuration menu (described in Chapter 3) and set up the terminal through the
Setup menu (available when in Terminal mode). For complete details on terminal
setup and downloading, refer to Chapter 9.
Assuming this is done and your configuration is correct, use the following steps to
download a file:
1. Select
Terminal
mode from either the Other menu or from the Toplevel
menu.
2. Select the File menu while in Terminal mode.
3. Select Download from host to module .
4. If
second.bdl
was the last file you translated, its translated version
(
second.bas
) is the default file for the download and you need only press
[Enter] . Otherwise, type in the name of the file you wish to download, in
our case
second.bas
. Remember that you must download a translated file,
meaning it has an extension of .BAS.
Executing
After you have successfully downloaded a file to the module, execute it by typing
RUN
to the right of
>
. To exit the program press [
F3
]. You can interrupt execution
by pressing [
Ctrl C
], unless this interrupt feature has been disabled through
programming. Chapter 9 of this manual describes how to debug a program on the
BASIC or BASIC-T module.
