20 Getting Familiar With Your BASIC Interface Software
Standard Toolbar Icons There are nine choices on the standard toolbar.
Icon Number Description
1 Performs the same function as File > New. It clears all the old data
from the history buffer and the screen.
2 Performs the same function as File > Save.
3 Transmits a RUN command followed by an ENTER out the serial port
to the attached BASIC module.
4 Sends a Crtl+C command out the serial port to the attached BASIC
module.
5 Downloads a BASIC program stored on disk to the attached BASIC
module. At the end of each downloaded line, the BASIC module will
tokenize the line then save it in memory. This tokenization process
takes time, which means the BASIC module input buffer can overflow
and data can be lost. If the program to be downloaded is more than a
few lines long (~10), then Xon/Xoff flow control is required on both
BASIC software and the BASIC module.
6 Uploads a BASIC program from the attached BASIC module and
stores the program in a file on the computer. The personal computer
saves the data to disk as it is being uploaded, which takes time. If the
program to be uploaded is longer that a few lines long, then Xon/Xoff
flow control is required on both BASIC software and the BASIC
module.
7 Performs the same function as File > Print.
8 Opens a dialog for you to configure the serial port.
9 Opens the About BASIC Interface Software dialog.
