LD.BAT File
Both SHAPE and RCURVE commands can be downloaded from the computer to the
simulator using the LD.BAT program detailed below. This program requires that
MODE.COM be in the same directory or at least in the path.
Create a batch file with the following instructions:
Mode Com1: 9600,N,8,1
Copy%1 Com1:
At the DOS prompt, type:
LD FILENAME
Note that FILENAME is the name of the file with one SHAPE command. Each of the
four shape commands must be in its own file.
Downloaded shapes are volatile; that is, not saved in memory. They are lost when the
Simulator is turned off.
Each shape is independent. After loading 4, you can then load, for example, a different
shape into [SHAPE>2, and only the third pleth wave in a series of 4 would be changed.
The Simulator will switch to your downloaded wave upon receipt of a [UPLETH]
command. It will switch back to the stored internal pleth wave on receipt of an [IPLETH]
command.
