BASIC Development Software (PBASE)
Use a personal computer with the BASIC Development software (PBASE)
to create a BASIC program that is then downloaded to your BASIC
module. PBASE provides a structured and efficient means of
programming your BASIC module. This software is loaded into a 100%
IBM compatible personal computer. It uses the personal computer to
facilitate editing, compiling (translating), uploading, and downloading
BASIC programs to the BASIC module. You can use PBASE with either
the RS-232 or the DH-485 interface. You must use PBASE software when
the DH485 port is the program port.
RS-232 Interface
In this configuration, you connect the serial port on the personal computer
to port PRT1 on the BASIC module. The personal computer
communicates with the BASIC module through terminal emulation over an
RS-232 interface. Port PRT1 is configured as the program port.
