2000A. Once this is known, the system user need only run (or setup) their process until specific needs
become apparent. With a specific need in mind, a perusal of the Event and State ID List (Table 5.3) will
match your need to one or more of the many possible solutions within the expansive repertoire of the STC-
2000A.
There has also been provided some example I/O programming segments with accompanying
explanations in section 5. These can be used to construct larger programs that fulfill the overall process
goal. Included with the STC-2000A is a CD containing communications programs that allow the
construction of I/O programs on a P.C. Writing I/O programs in this way is further enhanced as comments
can be added using a comma as a delimiter and not having to use line numbers. The Windows® program
running on the P.C. will strip the comma and all that follows on each line and add the line numbers as the
I/O program is downloaded into the STC-2000A. I/O programs constructed on the STC-2000A may also
be uploaded to a P.C. using the same communication program. The following is an example of such a
program constructed on a P.C. and from the P.C. view (this example [w/ checksum of 41779] is repeated
with an explanation in a later chapter).
