RCVE KEY
S4 receives files in INTEL, MOTOROLA,
TEKHEX, ASCII or BINARY format, as defined
in the SETUP routine. You are prompted for
START and END addresses in ASCII and
BINARY only, because these transmissions do
not contain any destination for the data. If the
transmission continues after the specified END
address, the remainder of the file is "run out"
i.e. received, but discarded.
The keypad
ESCape key will abort
transmission whilst waiting for a file, or during
the reception of a file. After the ESCape key,
S4 waits for a second to make sure that no
more data will be sent - otherwise such data
would be misinterpreted as keyboard
instructions. Also the sending terminal might
lock-up if RTS is not held true until the End-Of-
File is reached. If more data is sent then S4
stays in the routine - the user should stop the
file transmission from the sending end. Error-
check failures built into the file-format are
