mand. It first asks which of the four possible channels you
would like to verify, then tells you to send a file for compar-
ison. The Micro Console will start comparing the data start-
ing at the Start Frame, and continuing to the End Frame.

If there is an error the Micro Console will tell you the

frame at which it occurred. The Green LEDs will show the
data that was expected and the Red LEDs will show you
what the Brick had in it. You will need to stop the file down-
load BEFORE you hit the ape key to clear the Micro
Console.

If the comparison is successful you will need to hit an

ape to redraw the screen.

The Bricks must be connected to the Micro Console by

the Smart Brick Network (for Smart Bricks) or J8 (for Dumb
Bricks) for this command to work. The Dumb Brick must also
be configured to accept start and reset on its Green Input

configured for ÔACK/NAKÕ or ÔXon/XoffÕ handshaking to use
this command.

you to send the file to put in this channel. The Micro
Console will start saving the data in the Brick starting at the
Start Frame, and continuing to the End Frame.

If there is an error the Micro Console will tell you the

frame at which it occurred. You will need to stop the file

This command is used to save the contents of all four eight
bit channels of the attached Brick to your computer as a
text file.

It first asks you to prepare your computer to receive a

ÔtextÕ file. When prompted, the Micro Console will start send-
ing out data starting at the Start Frame, and continuing to
the End Frame.

When the download is complete, you will need to tell

your computer to close the file that was being saved, and
then hit an ape to redraw the screen.
