Configuring the Software
Configure the driver package for compatibility with the BASIC Module by
setting:
baud rate – 9600 baud recommended
parity – none
data bits – 8
start bits – 1
stop bits – 1
To download to the BASIC Module, you must use a line wait function. The
industrial terminal waits for the “
u” BASIC Module prompt before
sending the next line to the module. You must enter a line delay of 1.5
seconds for terminal drivers that do not have the “wait for character”
function, so that you do not lose subsequent lines. Most drivers allow
storage of the complete set of parameters in a file for later recall.
The industrial terminal stores the BASIC Module program in a text file on
the hard or floppy disc depending on where you store the terminal driver
package. We recommend you store the driver package on the hard drive to
increase execution speed. Most driver packages have upload and download
capability. Refer to the driver documentation for these commands.
