1 Before you start 

Welcome 

Welcome to the BASIC Tiger ® development system. 

Before you start 

This manual will introduce you to the hardware of the BASIC Tiger ® and will help 

you get off to a quick start. 

Programming micro-controllers used to be the domain of specialists. The 

programming itself generally took place in Assembler, which meant that the programs 

were fast, but difficult to understand. The development work for even small projects 

often dragged on for months. If BASIC was chosen as a programming language the 

processing speeds were relatively slow and with limited possibilities. 

BASIC Tiger ® fills this gap. The innovative modified BASIC instruction set makes 

programming very simple and reduces the familiarization period. BASIC Tiger ® has a 

very high processing speed and thus puts many controllers, which have been 

programmed in Assembler or C to shame. Multitasking, with no complicated 

overheads, leads to better-structured and easier to care for programs. A growing 

library of functions and example applications is available for repetitive programming 

tasks. Since the BASIC Tiger ® supports device drivers that are constantly being 

updated, it can grow with the project and thus cope with tasks that had not even been 

thought of at the start of the project. 

If you want to start programming immediately, follow the instructions for installation 

and then go directly to the "Quick start/First steps" section. 

You will find a detailed description of the Tiger-BASIC ® language in the 

Programming Manual. 

Device drivers extend Tiger BASIC ® , by using I/O functions that allow external 

devices to be used easily. The drivers are described in the Device Driver Manual:

What's new in version 5? 

If you are already an experienced Tiger-BASIC ® user you will definitely be interested 

in the new features of this version. There now follows a brief summary of the the 

most important new editor features and new hardware since the last update. You will 

find the new sections of the last but one update in the next heading ‘What's new in 

version 4?’. New instructions, functions and device drivers are listed in the other two 

manuals. 

Version 5 can now be used parallel to Version 4 since different entries are used in 

WIN.INI and the Registry. 

You may still keep your former Tiger-BASIC ® -Versions. Due to a larger Run-Time 

module existing project may not fit into the formerly used module when they are 

newly compiled (see the new pre-processor directive ‚project_model‘). One or the 

other may behave slightly different to before following the removal of a bug. 

The folder and file names are longer. The names of the example programs for the 

instructions and functions are now shown in full. This has been possible since the 

program no longer supports WIN 3.1. The examples are distributed in a number of 

folders classified according to topics. 

4 


There are some new features in the editor: 


• A facility has been provided as of Version 5 whereby processing steps in the 

Editor can be undone. How many steps can be undone is set in the Options 

menu under the Editor. 

• The source text has a coloured syntax highlight (4 different styles) and the 

background colour can be adjusted. 

• The size of the RAM for the RUN-Time system is now also taken into 

account in the display of the RAM occupied by the program in the module. 

• Editing can be blocked, e.g. to protect against accidental editing during a 

debug session. This can also be automated: no editing after every download. 

• A renewed compiling can now be suppressed if changes are accidentally 

made in the source text since an inquiry is made before every compiling. 

• The behaviour of the interface during a download can now be largely 

influenced. The number of repeat attempts and wait times can be adjusted. 

This should enable downloads via a modem or even a satellite. 

• Unsuccessful download attempts can be prematurely aborted with ESC. 

• The user areas for the Flash memory can be viewed from the interface and 

saved in various formats. 

• Strings can also be viewed and saved in various formats, e.g. to print an 

LCD graphic in the manual. 

• The display of the monitored print-outs has been extended. 

• A further help file can be called up from the Help menu which contains the 

last changes. Extensions published after Version 5 can also be better 

documented with this Help. 

• Automatic back-up before compiling and time-controlled can be set. 

There is a new BASIC-Tiger ® module with CAN interface. The pin assignment for 

the module can be found in this manual, the description of the device driver for the 

CAN in the device driver manual. 

A special development kit is provided for applications with graphic LCD's (Graphic- 

Toolkit).

What was new in version 4? 

The Editor has some new features: 

6 

• Files with the name extension 'TIG' can now be linked to the development 

interface (TGBAS32). If you double click a *.TIG-file in Explorer, Tiger- 

BASIC ® will be called and the file loaded. To create the link, keep the SHIFT 

key pressed whilst clicking the selected 'TIG'-file with the right mouse key. 

Select Open with in the context menu. Tick 'Always open files of this type 

with this program' and look for TGBAS32.EXE (normally in the 

\TIGERBAS\BIN directory). The link has now been created. 

• The size of the RAM for the RUN-Time system is now taken into account 

when the RAM's occupied by the program in the module are shown. 

• Information on device drivers (Flash and RAM utilization, Version) can now 

be queried per mouse click with the command 'Device driver list' in the view 

menu. 

• The display of the monitored expressions has been improved. 

• The Editor now indents loops and IF-areas on command. 

There are new extension modules to implement extended I/O ports. These new 

modules are described in ‘I/O-extension modules’ from page 229. Take a look at the 

running advertisement presented in advertisement as well as our internet pages 

(www.wilke-technology.com).

How this manual is organized 


A brief overview of the manual will help you to quickly find what you are looking 

for. 

Chapter 1 explains all the basics about Tiger BASIC ® , using this manual, 

installing the system. 

Chapter 2 leads you through the installation of the software and the 

hardware of BASIC Tiger ® system and gives you the 

opportunity for a quick start. 

Chapter 3 describes the development environment on the PC as well as 

the available hardware development systems. Please be sure to 

read about the hardware board you are working with: 

• Plug & Play Lab 

• BASIC Tiger ® prototyping board 

• TINY Tiger ® prototyping board 

Information about the BASIC Tiger ® or TINY Tiger ® modules 

can be found in chapter 7 

The BASIC-Tiger ® Graphic-Toolkit is considered an 

application. It has an own chapter in the Manual ‘Device Driver 

and Applications’. 

The CAN SLIO Board is described in the chapter about the 

CAN device driver. 

Chapter 4 describes the different modules of BASIC Tiger ® as well as 

TINY Tiger ® and Extended I/O Modules. 

Chapter 5 lists some frequently asked questions. Sometimes the questions 

of other users and the corresponding answers will help to see 

things from another point of view.

System requirements 

In order to be able to work with the development environment of BASIC Tiger ® you 

will require an IBM-compatible computer with the following minimum configuration: 

8 

• Pentium-II-processor, 233MHz 

• Hard disk with at least 100 MB of available storage 

• VGA graphics adapter 

• 16 MB of memory 

• Mouse 

• Windows 95/98/2000/NT 

• A free COM port 

• CD-ROM drive 

The examples and applications mentioned in this manual are primarily made for the 

BASIC Tiger ® A Modules. The command line installing the LCD1.TDD device driver 

must have extra parameters in order to re-allocate the sound pin on TINY Tiger ® 

modules. In some cases an example may not run on TINY Tiger ® modules that only 

have 32k of RAM. Also the Tiny-Tiger ® Economy has natural limitations as it has 

less I/O pins. 


Safety instructions 


The components in this development package, such as the Plug & Play Lab, 

prototyping boards, toolkits, adapter, cables, etc. should only be used as aids in the 

development and testing of computer software and hardware circuits. Their sole 

purpose is to save professional designers time in the construction of laboratory 

prototypes and to furnish new ideas for their own designs. 

These components must not be installed or operated by non-professionals. Nor should 

the prototype boards be used to control systems and equipment, particularly if their 

malfunction could lead to damages or risks. These boards must not be used to carry 

high voltages or currents. 

Before carrying out any modifications to circuits and before opening any housings, 

the equipment or test installations must be completely disconnected from the line 

voltage source. 

Sensitive components such as MOS circuits should only be handled in an anti-static 

laboratory environment to avoid damage.

BASIC Tiger ® 

This chapter will tell you about the special features of BASIC Tiger ® .

Multitasking 

The most striking feature of BASIC Tiger ® is its multitasking ability. Although 

BASIC Tiger ® modules are not much bigger than a CPU chip, they contain a complete 

multitasking control computer with its own program memory (FLASH), main 

memory (SRAM + FLASH) and a number of standard I/Os. A number of 

Tiger BASIC ® programs (Tasks) can be loaded into the Tiger's program memory and 

are permanently stored there, similar to the hard disk of a PC; until they are 

overwritten by new programs. The FLASH memory can also be used as a permanent 

storage for data which can then be written, read and deleted from BASIC programs. 

The main memory can be up to many Mbytes of SRAM and can be protected against 

power failures. 

The advantage of multitasking immediately becomes apparent if one considers real 

tasks for a control computer. An application rarely consists of only one single 

monolithic task with linear processing in a large loop. Even small applications 

normally have 3, 4, 5 or more separate tasks, which have to be processed largely 

independently of one another. One only has to consider outputs on a printer, inputs via 

keyboards or serial inputs, etc., which often hang up applications. Additional 

programming and test work is often required to avoid such situations. These programs 

accordingly become more difficult to understand and maintain. 

If multitasking is used in programming, the risk of a hang-up can be reduced. Inputs, 

outputs, closed control routines or evaluations are processed in separate tasks. For 

example, if a compute-bound evaluation has not yet been completed, required control 

signals can still be generated, a dialogue with an interface continued, information 

refreshed on displays and control keys monitored. Such multitasking programs not 

only run faster and more reliably, they are easier to maintain and understand. 

Additional tasks can be easily added at a later date as required. The individual 

performance requirements can be finely balanced by setting priorities for the tasks; 

control tasks can keep an eye on important functions and possibly start emergency 

programs and trigger alarms. 

Programming in multitasking is very easy with BASIC Tiger ® and can be 

implemented with only a few lines of BASIC. A simple example can be found on 

page 32 under the heading Program "Hello World". 

Device driver 

Through the use of device drivers, which take into account the device-specific 

characteristics of peripheral equipment, BASIC Tiger ® achieves a high level of 

flexibility and performance, yet is still easy to handle. Irrespective of I/O devices 

type, those I/O channels which work with device drivers are always addressed via the 

12 



6 standard BASIC instructions PRINT, PRINT USING, PUT, INPUT, INPUT LINE 

and GET. The systematic selection by means of a device number, optional secondary 

address and function code enables a systematic, easy-to-understand program structure. 

The change from standard I/O's to alternative channels, the addition of further I/O 

channels and the transition to other hardware is greatly simplified. An I/O instruction 

such as: 

"PUT #PUMP, OUTPUT4" 

This directs the unformatted output of the variable "OUTPUT4" to the device 

"PUMP", which in physical reality may consist of a number of very different 

channels: e.g. an asynchronous serial channel, a PWM output, a parallel interface or a 

completely different type. 

The physical characteristics of an I/O device are, to a large extent, defined in the 

device driver and are made available to the BASIC program through the instruction: 

INSTALL_DEVICE #No, Name. 

To direct an input or output to a different physical device, all that needs to be done is 

to select a different device driver or modify a parameter in the INSTALL_DEVICE 

instruction. 

The job of the device driver is to make life easier for the programmer. Instead of 

wasting time with complicated programs to select I/O devices, the actual 

programming work can concentrate on the operation of the respective device. Details 

which are specific to a particular transfer, such as buffer supervision, generation and 

evaluation of strobe signals, handling physical addresses and runtime performance, 

are carried out by the device driver. The current set of device drivers is being 

constantly expanded. Custom drivers can be developed for special requirements. 

For an example of how things can be simplified through device drivers, take a look at 

the driver ‘LCD1.TDD’, which is responsible for selecting an LCD display and 

keyboard matrix with up to 128 keys, shift LED and beeper. The driver manages not 

only the normal selection of these devices including buffered input and output, a 

series of high-capacity ESC sequences are also available which can be used to 

individually adjust, for example, key codes, refresh rate, key click, attributes, special 

characters, etc. This one driver replaces over 1000 lines of BASIC code. 

The use of this driver is shown, among others, in the application programs 

‘ANA1_DEM.TIG’ and ‘LCD_SPC2.TIG’.

Functions 

The constantly growing library of functions forms a powerful tool for the effective 

implementation of programming tasks with few instructions. BASIC Tiger ® functions 

cover the areas 

14 

• Integer arithmetic 

• Floating-point arithmetic 

• String operations 

• Special functions 

Repetitive programming tasks can utilize complete functions with high processing 

speeds and a compact code. 

The 32-Bit integer arithmetic of the BASIC Tiger is characterized by high speed and 

accuracy, which are more than capable for many applications. 

32 Bit arithmetic provides the number range -2,147,483,648 to + 2,147,483,647. As 

an example, this can be used within an application to provide an instrument system 

scale of -20,000 to +20,000 with a resolution of 0.000 01. This example could 

represent values used with process variables such as pressure, travel, speed and many 

more, Examples are frequently found in research projects and control tasks. The 

functions in the integer arithmetic field include EXP, LD, MOD, SGN, ABS, RND, 

BIT, MASK, IMASK, LREAL, HREAL, LLTOR, LEN, LEN_FIFO, FREE_FIFO, 

READ_FIFO, etc. 

Floating-point arithmetic works with double precision in BASIC Tiger (15-16 

significant digits), and thus meets even high, scientific requirements. Moreover, a 

number of important functions are also available for complex calculations, such as 

SIN, COS., TAN, COT, ASIN, ACOS, ATAN, ACOT, SINH, COSH, TANH, COTH, 

LOG, LN, EXP, EXPE, SQRT, etc. 

A number of powerful functions have been added to the normal string functions such 

as CHR$, LEFT$, RIGHT$, MID$, etc. These additional functions enable complex 

tasks to be programmed concisely and quickly. This permits the use of string type 

variables in a much more general context than would traditionally be the case. The 

search, select, replace, fill, fragment and convert programs in particular can now be 

programmed with the new string functions very quickly and exhibit impressively high 

processing speeds. The new string functions include UPPER$, CONVERT$, NTOS$, 

RTOS$, STOS$, NFROMS, RFROMS, SELECT$, INDEX, REMOVE$, 

REMDOUBLE$, STRI$, etc. 

Finally, there are special functions from the 'near-system' area, which provide diverse 

status information, such as process time, version no., error information, etc.

Examples 


Installation 

During software installation the program files are copied and unpacked into a 

subdirectory. A number of directories with program examples are also created. These 

are useful , die für den schnellen Einstieg in Tiger-BASIC ® : 

Examples The "Examples" directory brief exmaples of each instruction 

and function. These examnples are largely identical with those 

printed in the manual. They make for an easier understanding 

of the respective instruction or function and despite their 

minimum size are already complete programs which can be 

directly compiled and run. If your want to understand quickly 

how an instruction or function works exactly, run the example 

included with the program and try some changes. 

The file names of the examples in thisd directory are identical 

with the instruction/function. The file names can also be found 

in this manual at the beginning of the printed example. 

Graphic_Examples 

A separate chapter has been devoted to graphics in this manual. 

The graphic exanples in this chapter can be found in the 

directory "Graphic_Examples". See also: LCD-Kit. 

DeviceDriver_Examples 

The directory "DeviceDriver_Examples" contains most 

examples in the device driver manual. These include examples 

of how to address devices in Tiger-BASIC ® . Devices can also 

be the internal elements such as serial interfaces, pulse-width 

modulated output, analog inputs and special functions at simple 

digital I/O pins such as pulse output, pulse length measurement, 

frequency measurement, shaft encoder input, etc. 

CAN_Examples CAN as an industrial bus and automation bus requires a special 

Tiger-BASIC ® module. The examples of the CAN device 

driver are compiled in the directory "CAN_Examples". 

Applications Application programs which are more comprehensive have 

been collected in the directory "Applications". Each 

demonstrate certain programming technique, the use of device 

drivers or other applications in an exemplary manner. 

Applications are a good start for one's own developments and 

allow executable interim results at an early date. The type and 

number of applications is being constantly updated, in

particualr applications which can be used as a ‘Black Box’ to 

solve certain tasks. Minor modifcations to such applications are 

often enough to obtain bespoke solutions for a specific project. 

The applications are only partly printed and explained in the 

manual. Take a look at the annotated Source-Code of an 

application or a general overview. 

LCD-Kit LCD-Kit is a separately available optional package with 

hardware to develop graphic applications. The directory "LCD- 

Kit" contains more complex graphics examples for the 

graphics. 

Include All applications use symbolic defintions to make the source text 

more understandable. Thus, device drivers receive commands 

as a number, called the User-Function-Code in Tiger-BASIC ® . 

If a symbolic expression is written in place of the number, you 

can immediately see which comand is sent to the driver in the 

source text. These types of symbolic definitions are compiled in 

the Include files and are integrated in compilation times. 

Include files exist for various devices. If a device is present in 

an application the corresponding Include file will also be 

integrated-and I/O addresses, commands, parameters will be 

shown symobilically. Includ files can also include subroutines 

which are used repeatedly, e.g. the subroutine to initialise the 

device driver for the keyboard of the Plug & Play Lab, the 

hardware development platform for BASIC-Tiger ® . The 

following table shows some of the most important Include files 

and their contents: 

Include file Purpose 

DEFINE_A General definitions: 

device numbers of device drivers 

baud rates, constants, error numbers. 

UFUNC3 User-Function-Codes = functional calls to the

Installation 

Installing the hardware 

The installation of the hardware poses no great problems. As time goes by, there will 

be a number of different hardware environments for BASIC Tiger ® . The illustration 

shows a set-up with the Plug & Play Lab. 

28 



Installation 

• Make sure that the Plug & Play Lab has not yet been connected to the plugtype 

voltage adapter. 

• Plug the BASIC Tiger ® module into the pedestal of the 

Plug & Play Lab (the Plug & Play Lab must always be 

switched off). Pin 1 is in the top left corner. 

• Connect the Plug & Play Lab to a COM port of your PC with the serial cable. 

• Make sure that the plug-type voltage adapter is set to 

9 volts and that the polarity of the plug is ‘outside plus’. 

The Plug & Play Lab will not function if the polarity is 

incorrect, but it will not be destroyed. 

• Connect the Plug & Play Lab to the plug-type voltage 

adapter. 

• Start the Tiger BASIC ® development system on your PC. If the error 

message "Interface could not be opened" appears, ignore this and confirm 

with OK. 

• Select the Transmit command from the Options menu and specify the 

COM port to which the Plug & Play Lab is connected in the dialog box. 

• Select the Compiler command from the Options menu and specify the 

Flash and RAM sizes of your BASIC Tiger ® module in the dialog box. (This 

setting is only necessary if you wish to compile without a connected module.) 

This completes the installation of the hardware.

3 Development environment 

Development environment 

The development environment of the BASIC-Tiger ® system consists of a software 

environment which runs on your PC and a hardware development environment which 

is a platform with serial interface containing your BASIC-Tiger ® module. The 

hardware platform normally contains a number of useful elements to help with your 

development work without you having to solder together your own PCB. For 

example, the Plug & Play Lab already has an LCD, a keyboard, relay, driver 

transistors, analog reference voltage, extended outputs and much more (see hardware 

development environment). 

On completion of your development you usually have a finished product which can be 

delivered to your customers. In some cases you may wish to send subsequent 

firmware updates to a customer. Your customer then needs a program (Downloader) 

so that they can load the update into the module because they do not usually have the 

BASIC-Tiger ® -Compiler, and never their source code. More details about the 

Downloader can be found in the section Downloader from page 99. 

For a field update the hardware must be equipped with the following: 

• The serial connection SER1 with RS-232 levels to connect a PC or Laptop. 

• A jumper or switch to get the module into PC mode. Useful is a reset button, 

however, switching off and on will have the same effect. In special cases the 

application can delete itself which brings the module into PC mode without 

servicing a jumper or switch (see instruction DELETE_PROG). 


47

Software development environment 

Start the development environment by double clicking the "Tiger BASIC" icon under 

"Start/Program files/Wilke Technology". 

The development environment in which all source files which were open at the end of 

the last session can be re-opened during later starts then appears. 

There follows an explanation of all functions in the development environment, 

classified according to menus, and of how to operate the Editor. 

48 


Development environment commands 


Commands can be input either via the menus, the keyboard (function keys) or with 

the mouse (buttons). Simply move the mouse cursor over a button and read its 

meaning in the status bar. 

File menu 

New 

The development environment creates a new window to enter a new program. This 

program initially has no name (unnamed) 

Open 

Select the drive, directory and name of the file in the dialog box and click the "OK" 

button. 


49 

3

3 


Close 

Closes the file currently being edited. If the latest changes have not been saved a 

safety inquiry is made where these can then be saved. 

Save 

Saves the file currently being edited. If the file does not yet have a name a dialog box 

is opened (see "Save as..."). 

Save as... 

Saves the file currently being edited under a different name. Enter the drive, directory 

and file name under which you wish to save your program in the dialogue box. Then 

click the "OK" button. 

Save all 

As "Save" though this saves all opened files. 

50 



The Tiger-BASIC ® development environment can automatically generate a backup 

file when files are saved. Specify whether a backup file is to be created or not with the 

Editor command in the Options menu. Enter the desired option in the dialog field 

for editor options. 

Print 

Prints the file currently being edited either fully or partly. The "Current window" 

setting only prints that part of the file visible in the Editor (like a screen shot), the 

"All" setting prints the complete file. 

If the "Header/Page number" button is activated the file name and consecutive page 

number will be printed in the first line of every page. A consecutive line numbering 

for the entire file can be activated with the "Line number" button. The left margin 

setting can be used to to leave a margin free during printout. 


51 

3

3 


Printer set-up 

Selects the printer to be used for printouts and adjusts settings (paper size, paper feed, 

resolution, format, etc.) 

Exit 

This terminates work with the development environment. If the Editor still contains 

unsaved files these can be saved after a safety inquiry. 

52 


Edit menu 

Undo 


The editor includes a full multi-level Undo facility. Each procedure is stored in a 

stack-like arrangement. When Undo is choosen, the last operation is undoe. Choosing 

Undo again will undo the next-to-last operation, and so on. 

The possible number of Undo-steps can be set in the Editor dialog of the Options 

menu. Please note that replacing text can lead to many single operations. The 

command ‘Auto indent’ cannot be undone. 

Cut 

A marked text is cut from the present position and copied into the clipboard. 

Copy 

A marked text is copied into the clipboard. 

Paste 

The text in the clipboard is inserted at the present cursor position. 

Mark All 

The whole text in the window is marked. 


53

3 


Auto indent 

A source file can be indented according to the nesting level for more clarity. Enter the 

desired indent for the nesting and click "OK". With an indent of 4, each line is shifted 

four characters to the right with a new nesting level: nesting level 1 is indented by 4 

characters whereas nesting level 3 is already indented by 12 characters. 

54 


Search menu 


Search for... 

Searches for the entered word from the present cursor position. You can search 

forwards or back in the file. The following conditions can also be activated: "As 

word" only finds the search term as a separate word, not as part of a word (e.g. the 

search term "and" will not be found within "sand"). You can also set a case-sensitive 

search ("and" is found but not "AND"). 


55 

3

3 


Replace 

The search term will be replaced by a different term. The "As word" and "Case 

sensitive" buttons are analogous to those in the "Search for..." function. Click 

"Search"" to start the search from the current cursor position. If the search term is 

found it will be highlighted in the Editor window. Click "Replace" to replace this and 

the program continues its search. Click "Search" to continue the search with no 

replacement. The "Replace all" button replaces the term through out the entire text 

with no inquiry. 

Repeat search 

Repeats the last search. All further occurrences of the search term can be traced 

following the first successful search procedure. 

Previous message 

Jumps to the previous message in the message window and to the line which has 

caused this error message in the Editor. 

56 


Next message 


Jumps to the next message in the message window and to the line which has caused 

this next error message in the Editor. 

Go to line 

Enter a line number and click "OK", the Editor immediately jumps to this line. 


57 

3

3 


Display menu 

Messages 

Opens the message window. This window, which is automatically opened in the event 

of an error, lists all errors or warnings that have occurred during compiling. The 

display initially consists of the word "Error" or "Warning" followed by the line in 

which the problem has occurred. The number of the error is in square brackets, 

followed by a more detailed description of the error. 

58 



Tiger-Status 

A status message can be output here with details of the type and contents of the 

connected Tiger module. For example, the version and memory size of the module are 

shown, the name of the program in the module, when it was compiled and with which 

version and how much space the program needs in the FLASH. 


59 

3

3 


List of device drivers 

This lists all available device drivers. Apart from the creation date, version number 

and further information this list also indicates how much space a device driver takes 

up in the FLASH or RAM. 

60 


Evaluate/Modify Expression 


With this command you enter a dialogue window in which you can inquire and 

change the value of one variable. If the cursor is on a variable when the dialog is 

called this is entered directly in the "Expression" field. Click on the "Evaluate“ button 

to read out the variable value from the module. 

The "Format“ button calls a dialog in which the display format for the variables can 

be set. The setting only becomes effective if the "Evaluate" button is pressed again. 

Numerical variable: To change the value of the variable shown enter the value of 

the variable in the "New value“ entry field and accept by clicking "Change“. 

Monitored Expressions 

To permanently monitor terms/variables, open the window of the monitored terms 

(View – Watches). 

In this window you can open a context menu containing the commands to edit, add, 

delete, activate and deactivate as well as update the printouts to be monitored. 


61

The context menu commands of the monitored expressions in detail: 

Command Description 

Deactivate expression The highlighted expression will be deactivated and no 

longer updated. 

Activate expression The highlighted expression will be re-activated. 

Delete printout The highlighted expression will be deleted. 

Add expression A new will be added to the list. 

Edit expression An existing expression will be replaced by a different 

one or its form modified. 

Updating expression The list of expressions is updated to the runtime. 

Deactivate all expressions All expressions in the list are deactivated and no longer 

updated. 

Activate all expressions All expressions in the list are reactivated. 

Delete all expressions All expressions in the list are deleted . 

62 



The commands "Add expression" and "Edit expression“ open a further input window 

in which the name of the expression to be monitored is entered. Click "OK" to accept 

the expression in the list, click "Format“ to individually adjust the expression display. 

The following possibilities exist: 

Numerical variables/expressions can be shown as "decimal/hexadecimal" or 

"binary". 

String variables can be shown in "ASCII", in "HEX" or as a combination of 

"ASCII/HEX". 


63

The are further specifications for string variables: do you wish to show the number of 

characters in the string specified "at length" "From the start“ of the string, "To the 

end" of the string or "From the center" of the string? 

Update monitored expressions 

All variables in the "Monitored expressions“ window will be manually updated with 

this command. 

You can also set an automatic update after every single step in the 

Debugger settings dialogue in the Options menu.Watches 

64 


Examine FLASH data 

The dialog enables: 


• Data from the User area of the Flash memory to be viewed 

• Specification of the starting address and a length 

• Information on the Sector assignment of the Flash memory 

red = occupied by program 

green = occupied by User data 

yellow = free 

• Store the date in different views: 

binary, i.e. the data how they are 

HEX, as HEX-Dump without ASCII 

HEX/ASCII, as HEX-Dump with ASCII 

BMP, as Bitmap file 

• Append the data to an existing file 

To evaluate the flash memory, the module must be accessible in the PC mode. The 

interface must be able to associate a program window with the program in the 

module. 

Specify a start address and the number of bytes. After clicking the "Evaluate" button 

the data from the User-Flash of the Tiger-module will be read out and shown. This 

can be helpful during debugging if you wish to know what is at a place in the flash. A 

condition is that the active editor window shows the same program as in the module 

and that you are in the Debug mode. 


65 

3

3 


The read out data can be saved in a file. For this purpose, you have to enter a file 

name and chose a format. The data can be stored as a data stream or HEX dump. 

Click "Store" to start transmission. 

Examine string 

The dialog enables: 

66 

• View data from string 

• Specification of the starting address and a length 

• Information on the maximum and the current length of the string 

• Store the date in different views: 

binary, i.e. the data how they are 

HEX, as HEX-Dump without ASCII 

HEX/ASCII, as HEX-Dump with ASCII 

BMP, as Bitmap file 

• Store string length too 

• Append the data to an existing file 



To evaluate the string, the module must be accessible in the PC mode. The interface 

must be able to associate a program window with the program in the module. 

Indicate whether you want to examine the current length or the maximum length. The 

maximum length is reserved for the string in the memory. Which bytes are initialized, 

however, depends of the past history. After clicking the "Evaluate" button the data 

from the Tiger-module will be read out and shown. It may be helpful during 

debugging to know what is at a place in the string beyond the current length. For 

example, the functions STOS$, NFROMS etc. can access this 

The read out data can be saved in a file. For this purpose, you have to enter a file 

name and chose a format. The data can be stored as a data stream (binary), as a HEX 

Dump with or without ASCII or as a bitmap file (e.g. LCD graphic strings). Click 

"Store" to start transmission.

Start menu 

Compile 

The program in the active window is compiled if it has been modified since the last 

compilation. If not, the command is ignored. After compilation you will be shown 

how much memory space the program occupies. 

If a BASIC Tiger ® module is recognized at the interface, the compiler queries the size 

of the module's RAM and Flash. If no module is found, the information under 

"Options/Compiler" is taken as a basis for further work. 

The pre-processor initially processes your text and inserts files where an 

‘#INCLUDE’ instruction is found, and carries out replacements in the text (see 

‘#DEFINE’ instruction). Error messages can already be received from the preprocessor. 

The text is then translated and checked for syntax errors, conformity between 

declaration and application of variables, matching parameter passing in subroutines. 

This can also lead to error messages. 

68 



An executable BASIC Tiger ® program will only be generated if the compiler reports 

no errors. Warnings are allowed. 

Unconditional compiling 

Like "Compile", but compilation is carried out in any case. 

Run 

Starts the program in the active window. The system checks whether the loaded 

program is the latest version. If not, a download is first carried out. If the latest 

version of the program has not yet been compiled this is also carried out. If the 

compiler reports errors the procedure is aborted and no download takes place. 

In the Debug mode the program stops when it reaches a breakpoint.

immediately run in the Run mode.

Debug menu 

A program which has passed the pre-processor and compiler with no error messages 

can still contain errors which only appear during the run time, i.e. during the program 

execution in the BASIC-Tiger ® module. 

Normally the module has no chance of reporting errors. It thus reacts as sensibly as 

possible by either ignoring the error or quitting the faulty task. If a fatal error occurs 

in the MAIN task this is restarted. For further information on error correction during 

the run time, please refer to 'Troubleshooting during runtime' in the programming 

manual. 

Errors should be eliminated during the development phase so as to achieve a 

controlled behavior of the module during the run time. 

If the sliding switch on your hardware development board is in the PC-mode position 

you are in the Debug mode and the program can be run step for step, breakpoints can 

be set or a running program stopped. A running program is slightly slower in the 

Debug-mode than in the Run mode. The administrative share of the PC mode is more 

noticeable with shorter programs than with long programs. 

Since the BASIC Tiger ® module is still connected to the PC in the Debug mode, run 

time errors are reported back to the PC and specific breakpoints can be set to help 

detect errors. 

72 



The next line to be run is always highlighted in green, lines with set breakpoints in 

red. 

Next instruction (in task) 

You can run an individual program step in the current task with this command. 

All other tasks continue to run according to their priority. Further information on task 

priority definition can be found under 'SET_TASK_PRIO' in the programming 

manual. 

You also run through subroutines with this command. 

Execute instructions (in Task) 

You can perform a number of steps at once here. The number of program steps to be 

performed is queried in a dialog box.

Skip subroutine (in task) 

You skip run an individual program step in the current task with this command though 

subroutines will be run as one step. 

Skip subroutines (in task) 

You can skip a number of steps at once here. The number of steps to be skipped is 

queried in a dialog box. Subroutines are regarded as one step. 

Next instruction (overall) 

You can run an individual program step in the task whose turn it currently is in the 

priority distribution with this command. This makes Task-Switching visibly 

understandable. 

Execute instructions (overall) 

You can perform a number of steps here. The number of steps to be performed is 

queried in a dialog box. 

Execute to cursor 

The program runs from its present position up to the program line in which the cursor 

is located in the Editor window. The program run is then interrupted. 

Stop program 

The program run is stopped directly, the next program line to be performed is 

highlighted in green. Individual instructions can now be run with the Debug 

commands or the program continued with "Run" from the start menu. 

Exit program (RESET) 

The current program is terminated and returned to its initial status. This is roughly the 

same as a hardware reset. The program can then be re-started from scratch. 

Toggle breakpoint 

This command sets a breakpoint in the line where the cursor is positioned. If your 

cursor is already on a breakpoint, this will be deleted. 

Specify breakpoint 

This command sets a breakpoint in the line where the cursor is positioned. You will 

also be asked for the Number of cycles the program is to pass over the breakpoint 

before it is actually stopped. 

74 


Delete all breakpoints 

All active breakpoints will be deleted. 


If the program is currently on a breakpoint this will be covered by a green bar. 

In the event of an error message it is often best to ignore the error at first so that 

further errors can be localized before returning to the editor phase. However, if the 

error is in a loop it will reoccur during every loop pass and the program run will be 

interrupted. You can stop the program from being interrupted in the event of run-time 

errors in the Debugger settings dialog from Options menu. However, remember 

to reactivate this at the end of work. 

When a run-time error stopped the running program then the green bar is behind the 

line which caused the error. In an application with more than one task this is usually 

in the next task, so that the error message does not make sense when considering the 

source code line marked with the green bar. Please step then with F8 through the 

tasks until you reach behind the line which really caused the error.

The working environment 

76 

• uses a COM-Port in your computer to program the modules and for the 

Debug mode 

• assumes a certain Flash and RAM size in the Tiger-BASIC ® module 

• saves working files in directories 

• expects Tiger-BASIC ® drivers in certain directories 

Transfer 

This is where you specify the serial port used for data transfer to the Tiger module and 

the transfer rate (must be at least 38400 Baud). The transfer parameters for the 

interface are set automatically. 


Protocol 


If the user interface contacts a tiger module on the PC, it will wait for the answer for a 

particular, predefined time. If the module doesn't answer the process is then repeated. 

The number of repetitions and Time-Outs is set in this dialog. Two setting sets are 

distinguished: 

• Laboratory: As a rule, PC and module are connected directly via a short 

cable. Delays arise through buffering of the data and the Windows interface. 

Transmission interferences are not present. 

• RDT: representative of all links to the module associated with long delays 

and possible disturbance (Modem, Funk). 

You can switch between the settings quickly. The Time-Outs and number of 

repetitions and can be set in with the "Change" button.

Compiler 

This command tells the Compiler how much Flash and RAM memory your BASIC- 

Tiger ® module has. However, these entries are only used if you compile without a 

connected BASIC-Tiger ® module and the compiler cannot query the module's actual 

parameters. You can also determine whether a file which can be used for the Tiger- 

Downloader is to be created. 

78 



Debugger 

Relevant settings are carried out for the debugger here. If monitored expressions are 

to be automatically updated after every step performed in the Debug mode without 

having to press CTRL-W, the corresponding button must be activated here. In 

addition, you must set whether the program execution in the Debug mode is to be 

aborted or continued when a Run-Time error occurs. Tones can be emitted in the 

event of errors.

Editor 

Font and character size 


Sets both the font and character size used by the Editor to show the source code. 

Keeping blanks 

If not marked, the editor removes appended blanks when the line is left. (TAB 

characters are not removed). The command "Highlight nesting" is not affected by this, 

i.e. this command replaces blanks for nesting by TAB-characters). 

Editor mode 

You can set an editor mode where you can roam freely across the screen, irrespective 

of any text entered, or alternatively a mode where line ends are taken into account 

with cursor movements. Try both modes and decide for yourself which is best for you. 

You can also specify whether spaces are to be saved as tab stops or spaces during 

saving as a file.

You can define whether the previous version of the program is to be retained as a 

backup copy when storing a new version and at what intervals an automatic backup is 

to be carried out.

Syntax Emphasis 

The syntax emphasis is activated or deactivated in this dialog. The emphasis affects 

file types with the listed endings. 4 different types are available. Reserved words can 

be recognized or notations tried out with help of the syntax emphasis. As a test, write 

"inputline“ and enter the underline later: "input_line", and pay attention to the syntax 

emphasis.

Security code 

To protect your software in the BASIC Tiger ® or TINY Tiger ® module, enter the 

following line in your source text: 

USER_SECURITY "Codeword" 

"Codeword" consists of 3 to 31 characters. The codeword is a combination 

of letters and numbers and begins with a letter. It is casesensitive. 

If a program which contains a USER_SECURITY line is loaded into the module, 

debugging or program deletion is only possible if the same codeword has been 

entered in the Security Code dialog of the Options menu. Make sure that you do 

not forget the codeword since the program in the module cannot be changed without 

this. 

84 


Window menu 


As is common for Windows, a number of windows can be opened simultaneously. 

You can have the source text and include files shown at the same time. Messages are 

shown in a separate window after compiling. 

You can set the arrangement of windows in the windows menu (cascaded/tiled), 

arrange window symbols, close all windows at the same time or activate one specific 

window.

Help menu 

Use the help command to call up help on Tiger-BASIC ® . The context-sensitive help 

system is often faster by writing the instruction or function for which you need help in 

the source text and then pressing F1 with the cursor on or behind the word. 

The majority of help pages offer the possibility of calling example programs. Parts 

can be marked in these example programs and copied out with the edit key 

combination STRG-C.

Editor 

The normal tools in the Edit menu are available to edit your program text. 

The following always applies: a text has to be marked before it can be edited. Only 

one point in the text at a time can be marked. The marking corresponds to an enlarged 

cursor. 

Mark text 

Marking with the mouse; start at the point where you wish the marking to start and 

drag the mouse over the text to be marked with the left button held down. 

Marking with the keyboard: go to the point where you want the marking to start, hold 

the shift key down and move the cursor over the text to be marked. You can use any 

key which moves the cursor, i.e. the arrows, "Page" up and down keys, etc. 

As soon as you move the cursor without the shift key held down the marking vanishes 

from the text. The cursor regains its normal size. 

Delete text 

Delete individual characters with the backspace key, delete key or by overwriting 

with different characters. 

Mark the text and press the backspace key, delete key or overwrite the marked text by 

entering a character (except RETURN). 

Insert text 

Make sure that the Insert mode is active (see status bar along bottom of screen). 

Simply write at that point in the text where you wish to insert text.

Syntax error 

The syntax rules have not been followed or 

the keywords have been incorrectly written. 

12 Undefined variable By default, Tiger BASIC ® does not require a 

declaration of the variables before their use. 

However, a control can be activated with the 

pseudo-instruction ‘USER_VAR_STRICT’, 

and is strongly recommended for large 

programs. If the control is active, this error 

message appears when a variable has not 

been declared. 

13 Invalid keyword A composite keyword contains typing errors 

in the second or third part, if the keyword is 

written in a number of words. We 

recommend the use of underscores (not 

spaces) as dividers in composite keywords to 

improve legibility, e.g.: ‘SET_TASK_PRIO 

...’ instead of ‘SET TASK PRIO ...’. 

14 Double definition of name The name in the definition of a variable has 

already been used in the program to define a 

different variable. See ‘Scope of application 

variables’ in the programming manual . 

15 Double definition of task/ 

subroutine 

16 Instruction outside task/ 

subroutine 

The name has already been used in the

The number of parameters in the call for a 

subroutine or function does not correspond 

with the number of parameters in the 

definition of this subroutine or function. 

The use of the modifier ‘VAR’ in the 

declaration of a subroutine forces the transfer 

of a variable. In the call for this subroutine in 

the corresponding parameter, neither 

constants nor expressions are variable. 

The use of expressions, FIFO variables or 

names of other functions are illegal as

Hardware development environment 


A description of the BASIC Tiger ® and TINY Tiger ® modules can be found in chapter 

'I/O Extension Modules'. 

This manual describes three boards that can be used as a hardware development 

platform: 

Plug & Play Lab is the most extensive hardware containing a keyboard and LCD 

panel as well as an analog power amplifier with loudspeaker. 

Connections can be made by jump leads instead of soldering. 

BASIC Tiger ® prototyping board 

is an Euro-sized board containing everything you need to work 

with BASIC Tiger ® modules with or without on board RS-232, 

supporting a keyboard with up to 64 keys and providing a LCD 

panel connector. 

TINY Tiger ® prototyping board 

is an Euro-sized board designed for development with 

TINY Tiger ® modules. This board supports a keyboard with up 

to 64 keys and provides a LCD panel connector as well as 7 

driver transistors and an 8-LED status display. 

Please be sure that you read the right chapter when you are looking for details of your 

board. In some cases, the details may be only slightly different. 

Note: The information about the hardware of all boards is subject to change without 

notice.

A brief summary will initially explain the Plug & Play Lab. 

The illustration shows the slot for the BASIC Tiger ® Module A, the connection for the 

PC (serial interface 1) and the PC mode switch as the most important elements to 

begin with. 

All port-pins for the module are accessible on the plug-pins to the left and right of the 

Tiger module. 

Care should always be taken when making connections with cable connectors: pins 

designated as outputs must not be shorted with VCC or GND or carry excessively 

high voltages. 

Some pins are already connected to elements on the Plug & Play Lab: 

GND is connected to the ground of the Plug & Play Lab. 

104 


AGND is connected to the analog ground of the Plug & Play Lab. 


VCC is connected to the VCC of the Plug & Play Lab via the "Tiger-VCC" jumper. 

Reset can be keyed to GND via the button. 

L90→L95 see ‘serial ports' further on in the text.

The illustration shows the arrangement of the analog elements of the 

Plug & Play Lab. The header connectors of the analog part are not connected to any 

I/O pins of the BASIC Tiger ® module. The supply lines analog-VCC and analog- 

GND are connected to digital-VCC and digital-GND via ferrite cores. 

106 


Power supply 


The Plug & Play Lab is supplied with 9 to 15 V DC through a 10W line voltage 

adapter. The supply's negative is applied to the pin of the power supply socket. The 

maximum current input is 1 A depending on the load. In normal operation, 

approximately 600mA is consumed when all LEDs activated (300mA without LEDs). 


107

Backup Battery 

The Plug & Play Lab has two soldering pads to which a battery can be connected to 

backup the power supply for the RAM and clock. 

The pads are located alongside the PC-mode switch. 

The battery voltage should be 3.6V and may not exceed 5V. 

Example of a backup battery with charging resistor for the battery: 

The load at the alarm output governs the power consumption with a backup battery. A 

low-resistance input for the LED display driver is connected here on the 

Plug & Play Lab. 

You can either do without the display and take the corresponding pin out of its socket, 

or accept a higher battery current consumption during the development phase. 

108 


^ 

PC-Mode 


The PC-Mode-Pin is connected to the PC-mode switch on the Plug & Play Lab via 

4k7. 

Following a reset or power-down the BASIC Tiger ® module tests whether the PCmode 

pin is ‘low’. If so, the module enters the PC-Mode/Debug-Mode. If the pin is 

‘high’, the module enters the RUN-Mode. The time between Power-on and the initial 

activity at the I/O-Pins is approx. 220→230msec. 

A Reset or Power-down is required to switch the BASIC Tiger ® module to the PCmode. 

It is not enough to simply push the sliding switch into the PC-mode position 

during the RUN-mode. 


109

Serial connections 

The Plug & Play Lab replaces the RS-232 driver, if the fitted BASIC-Tiger ® module 

has no driver and also accepts Tiger modules with RS-232 drivers. Pleas note the 

special features of these pins. 

The RS-232 pins L90...L95 are initially managed by an internal logic circuit which 

accept BASIC-Tiger ® modules with or without RS-232 drivers. The signals then 

appear at the two DB9 sockets with RS-232 signal level. Since RS-232 drivers invert 

the signal a previous inversion has to be reversed if the connected module also 

contains an RS-232 driver. 

The LED always show the TTL level of the signal even if the BASIC-Tiger ® module 

has an (inverting) RS-232 driver ‘on-board’. 

110 



The pins for the BASIC-Tiger ® module are accessible on the Pin strip. However, the 

pins RxD0, CTS0 and RxD1 are also the outputs for the 74HC86 which drives the 

serial inputs. This should be remembered if you are planning normal outputs here. 

The following illustration again shows the situation on the 3 RS-232 input pins. 

The connection from the driver 74HC86 to the Tiger module differs depending on the 

Plug & Play Lab version. The version number can be found in the bottom right of the 

PCB. 

Plug & Play Labs V1.0 and V1.1: the input TTL drivers HC86 are directly connected 

to the module. To disconnect, the IC pins must be bent out of the sockets. 


111 

3

3 


Plug & Play Labs V1.2: have 3 jumpers directly below the module to separate the 

input TTL driver from the module: 

Line Jumper pins 

CT0 from 74HC86 to module 

Rx1 from 74HC86 to module 

Rx0 from 74HC86 to module 

Plug & Play Labs V1.3: each have a 1k5 resistor in the line to the module so that 

externally fed signals on the pin strip only have to be strong enough to overwrite the 

signal from 74HC86. The line does not have to be separated. 

112 


Pin assignment DB9 ‘ser 0’ 


The DB9 connector ‘ser0’ connects to the drivers of the serial channel 0 on the

The DB9 connector ‘PC/ser1’ connects to the drivers of the serial channel 1 on the 

Plug & Play Lab. The same connector is used to connect the Plug & Play Lab to the 

PC for programming purposes. 

114 


Relays 


The jump leads connect the BASIC Tiger ® outputs L71 and L72 to the inputs of the 

relay driver transistors. 


115 

3

3 


The relays may only switch voltages below 65V. The load current must not exceed 

3A. 

Any output pin of the BASIC Tiger ® module can be connected to the pin marked 

Relay0 or Relay1, by a jump lead. A ‘high’ level signal activates the relay. A ‘low’ 

level signal deactivates the relay. The imprint on the binding post describes the offposition 

(deactivated) of the contacts. 

116

Darlington transistors (NPN) 


Jump leads connect the BASIC Tiger ® outputs L70 and L71 to the inputs of the 

Darlington transistors. 


117

3 


The two NPN Darlington transistors are of the type TIP122, which may switch up to 

2A approximately and have an internal protective diode. 

Any output pin of the BASIC Tiger ® module is connected to the pin marked Darl.0 or 

Darl.1 by a 'jumper'. A ‘high’ level signal switches through the transistor. 

Please note that the ground connection must be made to the external circuit. 

118

71

Beep 


The jumpers connect the BASIC Tiger ® output L42 to the input for the buzzer (beep). 


119

A self-heterodyning mini loudspeaker is provided for simple sound generation (buzzer 

or beep). 

Any output pin of the BASIC Tiger ® module can be connected to the pin marked 

‘beep’ (far right of the 9-pin strip connector) by a jump lead. The sound is generated 

when the pin is low. The LCD1 device driver uses pin L42 (pin 35) for sound and key 

click. 

120 


Microphone input/Jack socket 


From the microphone, the signal passes via the jumper on J13 to the volume control 

of the microphone amplifier. The microphone amplifier output is connected to the 

input of the power amplifier (PA-in) for monitoring purposes and to an analog input 

of the BASIC Tiger ® module, e.g. An0, for measurement. The resultant volume of the 

output amplifier can be independently adjusted. Analog-GND is internally connected 

on the Plug & Play Lab. 


121 

3

3 


Either the microphone or one of the two stereo jack inputs can be switched to the 

input amplifier. 

A jumper is plugged onto the header connector directly below the jack socket (J13). 

The connector pin on the far left connects the microphone to the amplifier input. 

The volume is controlled with the potentiometer below the jumper block J13. The 

amplifier output is on the long header connector and is marked ‘micro’. The output 

level is between 0 and 4 Volt. 

122 


Analog amplifier (4x) 


The microphone amplifier output is connected to the input of the first analog amplifier 

‘An0’. The analog amplifier output is connected to an analog input of the 

BASIC Tiger ® module, e.g. An0. Amplification and zero point are best adjusted with 


123 

3

3 


the aid of an oscilloscope. Analog-GND is connected internally on the 


Four identical amplifiers with adjustable zero point and input potentiometers are 

provided. Signals applied to the input should have a DC level of approx. 2.5 V (such 

as the microphone amplifier). 

The inputs are located on the header connector marked ‘analog-in’. Below this you 

will find potentiometers for volume (Vol.) and zero point (zero). Please note that both 

potentiometers have an interactive effect on each other. 

The outputs are on the 9-pin header connector and are marked ‘ampl.-out’ (channels 

3-2-1-0). The output level is between 0 and 4 Volt. 

Analog inputs 

The analog input pins of the BASIC Tiger ® module An0→An3 have an input 

resistance of 1M and a hardware resolution of 10 Bit. The resolution can be further 

increased by means of calculation. 

The LEDs show High and Low via CMOS drivers. The analog pins on the 

BASIC Tiger ® module A are always inputs. Please note that the inputs of the LED 

driver are also connected to pins An0→An3, so that the input resistance is lowered. 

The reference voltage ‘Vref’ is set at the potentiometer alongside the DB9-connectors. 

The voltage may be between 3.5V and VCC (5V). The measuring range is set 

between 0 and the reference voltage. Input voltages that are equal to the reference 

voltage supply the maximum measured value. 

124 



Note1: the reference voltage of the module must be between 3.5V and VCC (5V). 

Voltages at the analog input below 0V or exceeding the reference voltage result in 

invalid values. 

Note2: if the module is switched off the analog input have a very low input 

impedance. Protect the circuit using a FET or pre-amplifier. 


125

3 


PWM amplifier 

A PWM output of the Tiger BASIC ® module is connected to the input of the first 

PWM amplifier. Use a potentiometer to reduce the output level of the PWM pins in 

order to avoid non-linearities in amplifiers that are supplied with 5V only. 

126 



The PWM amplifier's output is connected to the input of the output amplifier via a 

resistor, which reduces the input sensitivity of the output amplifier so that the volume 

can be more easily adjusted. 


127 

3

3 


Two PWM amplifiers are provided. 

The 2-pin header connector for channel 1-0-Input is located slightly to the right above 

the 9-pin header connector. 

The outputs appear on the 9-pin header connector (PWM buffer, channels 1-0). 

128 


Power amplifier 


A small power amplifier has its input from the second pin from the right of the 9-pin 

header connector, which is marked ‘PA-in’. 

The output is connected to both the jack socket for the loudspeaker and directly to the 

adjacent 2-pin header connector, J8. 

The sensitivity of the input potentiometer can be reduced with a series resistor before 

‘PA-in’. 


129

Bus-System for LCD, keyboard and 64 I/O-Pins 

130 



The LCD panel, keyboard and the additional output pins use a common data bus and 

each have their own control lines for activation. All lines (apart from ‘beep’) can be 

connected to the matching ports of the BASIC Tiger ® with 13 jump connectors. The 

long plug-type cables are not required. 

If the 13 jumpers are on J22, the following connections are made to the BASIC Tiger ® 

module: 

Bus name BASIC Tiger ® -Pins Pin-No. 

D0→D7 L60→L67 2→9 

Aclk (Address clock) L33 30 

Dclk (Data clock) L34 31

E (LCD: enable) L36 33 

RS (LCD: Reg.select) L37 34 

beep (not to J22) L42 35 

All lines are automatically controlled by the device driver "LCD1.TDD". The device 

driver is not required to use the extended I/O pins. 

Certain applications do not usually require the full configuration. 

Note: If you pull the jumper 'INE' for the keyboard you should use a jumper cable to 

disable the keyboard driver fixing the 'INE' to 'high' level. The jumper cable is 

connected to the pin away from the module at the position of the original jumper.

Serial ports 

If the used BASIC Tiger ® module has no RS-232 driver, the prototyping board has 

built-in drivers. The prototyping board also accepts Tiger modules that do have RS- 

232 drivers included. Please pay attention to the special features of these pins. 

The RS-232 Pins L90 to L95 are initially operated through internal logic which 

accepts BASIC Tiger ® modules with or without RS-232 drivers. The signals then 

appear at the DB9-socket and the connector pins of serial channel 0 with a RS-232 

signal level. 

The pins of the BASIC Tiger ® module are accessible at the 46 pin header connector. 

However, the outputs of the 74HC86 (see schematics), which drive the serial inputs of 

the module, are also connected to pins RxD0, CTS0 and RxD1. This should be taken 

into account if you are planing normal outputs on the same pins. The 74HC86 may 

then have to be removed. 

Please consult the enclosed circuit diagram in the event of uncertainties relating to the 

connections.

Bus-System for LCD panel, keyboard and 64 I/O-Pins 

The jumpers on J3 connect the TINY Tiger ® port pins to the bus system for extended 

I/O, LCD panel, keyboard and printer. 

170 



The LCD panel, keyboard and the additional output pins use a common data 

bus and each have their own control lines for activation. All lines (apart from ‘beep’) 

can be connected to the matching ports of the BASIC Tiger ® with 13 jumpers. The 

jump leads do not have to be used. 

If the 13 jumpers are on J3, the following connections are made to the TINY Tiger ® 

module: 


D0 to D7 L60 to L67 1 to 8 



INE/keyb (IN-/keyboard enable) L35 31 



All lines are automatically controlled by the device driver "LCD1.TDD". As a 

TINY Tiger ® does not have the pin L42, which is used by the LCD1 device driver to 

control the buzzer, the installation of the LCD1 driver for TINY Tiger ® must include 

some extra parameters in order to change the buzzer control pin. 

The device driver is not required to use the extended I/O pins. 

Note: If you pull the jumper 'INE' for the keyboard you should use a jumper cable to 

disable the keyboard driver fixing the 'INE' to 'high' level. The jumper cable is 

connected to the pin away from the module at the position of the original jumper.

The illustration shows the basis of the extended I/Os, LCD, printer port and keyboard. 

The address bus assumes an 8-bit memory is used into which the addresses are written 

with the ‘Aclk’ signal.

Pin assignment of keyboard connector 

On the 2-row header connector J1 for the keyboard, you can connect your own 

keyboard matrix with up to 8 rows and up to 8 columns. Pin 1 is located close to the 

contrast potentiometer. 

In order to use the keyboard the jumpers for the bus system on J3 must be in place. 

174 


Pin assignment of LCD Panel connector 


For the LCD panel, there is a 1-row 14-pin header connector (J8). 

In order to use the LCD Panel the jumpers for the bus system on J3 must be in place. 


175

The 2-row header connector, J2, is connected to the pins of the TINY Tiger ® module. 

You can connect your own prototype board or a self-made Centronics cable here or 

use the pads to make connections into the patch area. Furthermore, as the pin 

assignment of J2 is the same as the pin assignment of J23 on the Plug & Play Lab, 

you can connect both boards (using one module at the same time).

Tiger Terminal 



The Tiger-Terminal extends the BASIC Tiger ® Prototyping Board, the Tiny Tiger ® 

Prototyping Board or own equipment, adding a keyboard, LC display, as well as 

8 extended outputs. 

The Tiger Terminal should be regarded as a test installation (which you do not have to 

set up yourself) and should only be put into operation by professionally trained 

personnel. 

On the Tiger-Terminal you will find: 

• Keyboard with 81 keys 

• 2 x 8 Dip switch 

• LC display 4 x 20 characters 

• Beeper 

• 8 extented output pins 

• Status display of the 8 output pins 

• Connector for Tiger data bus and control lines (ACLK, DCLK, INE) 

• Connector for power supply 8...12V DC 

177

3 


Installation 

The Tiger Terminal is an additional hardware for BASIC Tiger ® Modules or Tiny 

Tiger ® Modules. It is supposed that you are familiar with BASIC-Tiger ® and that you 

own the original manuals of the development environment. 

Keyboard, LC display, and extended outputs of the Tiger Terminal are nearly 

identical to the same equipment on the ‘Plug & Play Lab’, as described earlier in this 

manual. 

The extended ports are described in chapter 5 under the headline ‘Extended I/O 

System’. 

The power supply of the Tiger Terminal can be 

178 

• unstabilized 8...12V DC using the connector for the power supply. Jumper S3 

must be set in this case, 

• stabilized 5V from connector J1 with Jumper S3 left open. 




Using a flatcable the connector J4 of the Tiger Terminal can directly be connected to 

the bus connector of the BASIC Tiger ® Prototyping Board or the Tiny Tiger ® 

Prototyping Board. 

J5 can be connected to the beep output pin of the module. The device driver 

LCD1.TDD uses on BASIC Tiger ® modules the pin L42 as sound output for keyboard 

click, error beep, etc. 

When the jumper J6 is equipped then the backlight of the LC display is ON (if the 

LCD has a backlight). 

The keyboard is adapted to the device driver LCD1.TDD in the same way as 

described in the Device Driver and Applications Manual, chapter 'Applications', under 

the headline ‘Plug & Play Lab keyboard customization’.

Programming adapter 

Programming adapter 

Use the Tiger programming adapter to program BASIC Tiger ® or TINY Tiger ® 

modules in series. 

Technical Specifications: 

• Connect the programming adapter to a COM port of your 

PC with the serial cable. 

• Start the Tiger BASIC ® development system on your PC. 

If the error message "Interface could not be opened" 

appears, ignore this and confirm with OK. 

• Select the Transmit command from the Options menu 

and specify the COM port to which the programming 

adapter is connected in the dialogue box. 

• Plug the BASIC Tiger ® module or TINY Tiger ® module 

into the ZIF-sockets of the programming adapter (the 

programming adapter must always be switched off). Pin 1 

is on the left side of the module and is located as close as 

possible to the levers of the ZIF-sockets. 

• Make sure that the line voltage adapter is set to 9 Volts and 

that the polarity of the plug is ‘outside positive’. The 

Plug & Play Lab will not function if the polarity is 

incorrect, but it will not be destroyed. 

• Connect the programming adapter to the line voltage 

adapter. 

• Load the program into the module using the command 

Load program from the menu Start. 

• If the module cannot be programmed now, use a pointer to 

press the reset button. Normally, the module does not need 

to be reset before using the programming adapter.

BASIC-Tiger ® control computer 

4 BASIC Tiger ® control computer 

BASIC Tiger ® control computers are available as module types with various 

capabilities and memory sizes. The module series A is currently available with up to 

38 installed I/O lines and up to 1 Mbyte of memory. Modules with more memory, 

internal I/O pins and additional features are being developed. Programs for 

BASIC Tiger ® control computers can be run on any of the various types of Tiger 

modules. 

The BASIC Tiger ® System offers the user easy-to-program and universal module 

computers for a wide range of applications. Tiger BASIC ® has powerful mechanisms 

for modular, structured programming. Tiger BASIC programs also have high 

execution speeds. 

Software applications can be carried out in In-Circuit and without UV erasure both 

during the development phase and at a later point in time. This can be either via a 

direct RS-232 link to a PC / Notebook or a connect via IR-transmission or RDT. 

Flash memory 

The Flash memory is of high importance. Tiger BASIC ® programs are stored in the 

Flash memory and BASIC programs can use free Flash for permanent data storage. 

There now follows information to help you better understand certain instructions and 

relationships. 

Data stored in the FLASH memory is retained for at least 10 years, even after the line 

power has been isolated. The FLASH memory contents can be electrically erased and 

rewritten. At least 100,000 erasure cycles are possible. 

The Flash memory can be written to and read from byte by byte. The data is erased 

sector by sector. The number and size of the sectors depends on the module type. 

Currently, common sector sizes are 16 Kbytes and 64 Kbytes. The function 

SYSVARN provides information on the sector size and number of free sectors in the 

module. 

Both writing and erasing take longer than writing to a RAM memory, for example. 

However, the access, read and write speed is high compared to mechanical media, i.e. 

hard disks, floppy disks etc. The reliability and strength of the Flash memory is also 

higher, an important factor for control systems. 


187 

4

4 


If you wish to write new data into a FLASH memory at a location already containing 

data, the corresponding sector must be erased beforehand. A typical cycle for a Flash 

memory sector could be as follows: 

188 

• Erase sector 

• Write + read data 

• Erase sector 

An erased FLASH sector only contains bytes with the value 0FFh (11111111b). 

During a FLASH writing process, only bits with the value "0" can be written. Bits 

within the FLASH memory that have a value of "0" can not be converted to a value of 

"1" by writing to them. In order to amend individual bits to store the value "1", the 

corresponding sector must be erased beforehand, i.e. set all sector bits to "1". After 

this, write the corresponding "0" bits to generate the required "1" bit values. 

Remember, BASIC Tiger ® only allows you to write "0" bits at storage locations with 

"1" bits. As an example: 

An erased FLASH storage cell (content: FFh) can be written row for row with 

additional 0 bits, bit by bit, without the corresponding sector having to be erased 

between times, e.g.: 

Hex Binary 

FF 11111111 

7F 01111111 

3F 00111111 

1F 00011111 

0F 00001111 

07 00000111 

This can be used, for example, in applications operating time counters or charge 

counters. If a high bit is set to 0 every 10 seconds in a 16 Kbytes sector, this provides 

a counter covering a period of approximately 15 days (1,310,720 seconds). Once the 

sector is full, a carryover into the next sector can be created and the low-order sector 

can be erased. 


^ 


An attempt to write a "1" value bit to the Flash will be unsuccessful. 

This writing policy for the FLASH memory also determines the strategy when using 

the FLASH memory as "pseudo" RAM device, e.g. as a replacement floppy disk or as 

a memory for information which is only occasionally modified. 

In the simplest case you will have, the same number of free sectors as you have tables 

or files to store, and the number of write processes is not very high. This allows you 

to easily write into the desired FLASH sector and to erase this when data is to be 

replaced with new data. 100,000 erasure cycles per sector is the natural limit. As an 

example: with a maximum of 30 erasing cycles each day, this natural limit will only 

be reached in 30 years. 

If an application wishes to refresh data more frequently, you can exploit the feature 

whereby any bit pattern (byte) in the FLASH can be overwritten with the value 00h. 

This means that flags and pointers linked to data records can be overwritten with an 

"Invalid" code. In other words, if you have enough space within a sector to write the 

corresponding data record 100 times in succession and also a flag table, the data 

record can be rewritten exactly 100 times into FLASH sector before the sector has to 

be erased. This means that the number of possible write-erase cycles has already been 

multiplied by one hundred. 

If you also wish to protect the write and erase process against a possible power-down, 

which can lead to garbled information, you can use a series of sectors to form a data 

backup. For example, 2 sectors could be used to hold the necessary data, which are 

written and erased in a number of successive stages. 

The FLASH memory is temporarily unavailable during erasure with the instruction 

ERASE_FLASH. Depending on the module type, this may lead to a temporary 

standstill of all tasks in the module (approx. 0.5 - a number of seconds). Special 

modules are available for applications where this is not desired. 

If certain FLASH sectors are not occupied by program code, these are available to a 

Tiger BASIC ® program as data memory. The Flash memory that is available to the 

user always starts at address 0. It is always complete sectors that are made available, 

which can then be written to and read from byte by byte. Erasure is carried out sector 

by sector. 

Important information regarding the Flash memory of a particular module can be 

found using system parameters. (Function SYSVARN).

Module series A 

Modules in the module series A differ through the size of their FLASH and RAM 

memories as well as through the possible presence of the RS-232 driver and real-time 

clock. You must use Tiger BASIC ® to program these modules, TINY BASIC ® will 

not download to series A modules.

EMC note: Although a lot has already been done in the module for the 

‘electromagnetic compatibility’ and against interfering radiation (Multi-Layer PCB 

with VCC and GND layer, through internal vaporisation of shielded casing, VCCferrite), 

further measures have to be taken if a CE-symbol is required for the terminal 

device. The following measures are suggested for the module: 

• provide a tantalum and ceramic capacitor as close as possible to the VCC-pin 

of the module (e.g. 47 µ F+100 nF). 

• connect VCC to VCC via a choke (e.g. 68nH). 

• earth all inputs and outputs via 1nF or corresponding varistors with a similar 

capacity wherever possible. 

• Initialise unused I/O pins per software as an input. 

There is no patent remedy for making a project resistant to jamming and with a low 

radiation. Apart from the suggestions made above, the additional peripheral 

equipment and wiring also always play role. 

BASIC Tiger ® A RESET-in 

BASIC Tiger ® A is equipped with an internal reset generator and a reset input pin. 

Reset is used for a variety of purposes: 

• Cause defined start conditions on power-on 

• Synchronize several logical units in system on power-up. 

• Manual abort (panic key) 

• Additional security using external watch dog 



The reset input of BASIC Tiger ® A is a digital input with internal pull-up resistor of 

10k. The pin can be left open when the system does not need an external reset. For a 

reset the pin must be pulled to ground at least 0.4µsec. This input is not identical with 

the internal reset net. The actual reset time is determined internally. An automatic 

reset will also take place when the supply voltage goes below 4.6V. Also short break 

downs of VCC from 2µsec or longer are recognized and a well-timed reset is 

generated internally. 

In larger systems consisting of several logical units or computers a central reset 

should be generated. Some power supplies are equipped with a ‘power good’ output 

signalizing that the supply voltage is now stable.

Modules in the TINY Tiger ® series differ from the series A module in the size of their 

RAM memories and the possible presence of the real-time clock. 

The examples and applications mentioned in this manual are primarily made for the 

BASIC Tiger® A Modules. The command line installing the LCD1.TDD device 

driver must have extra parameters in order to re-allocate the sound pin on 

TINY Tiger® modules. In some cases an example may not run on TINY Tiger® 

modules that only have 32k of RAM. Also the Tiny-Tiger® Economy has natural 

limitations as it has less I/O pins. 

The unused RAM in a 32k TINY Tiger ® module containing a program is not much 

more than 10k bytes. The following hints will help you to get the maximum 

performance with little RAM: 

198 

• The default stack size for every task is 2k bytes. Include 

the line ‘USER_STACK_SIZE nnn’ to reduce the stack of 

any task down to 512 bytes. 

• The default string size is 64 bytes. Set the string size to the 

required size when declaring the string. This rule applies 

especially to ARRAYs of STRINGS. 

• Include only device drivers you require for your 

application. Especially buffered drivers like the 

LCD1.TDD, SER1.TDD, PRN1.TDD need RAM for their 

buffers. 

• In explaining the CALL instruction you find information 

about the usage of the task stack. Parameters passed to a 

subroutine, as well as local variables, use the stack 

according to their size. 

• During the development phase of your project, you may 

determine the runtime stack requirements using the 

function SYSVARN (function numbers DSTACK_FILL 

and DSTACK_FREE).

Module in the Economy Tiger® series differ from the TINY-modules through the 

double use of certain pins. Some pins have been omitted to make the module small: 

there is no BATT-pin, the PWM-Pins are missing, Vref is internally connected to 

VCC and an internal clock is not available. Except for these hardware differences, the 

module is compatible to the other Tiger modules. 

The examples and applications in the manuals are primarily made for the 

BASIC Tiger® A modules and some do run not on the Economy Tiger®, particularly 

if only 32k RAM is available. The double use of pins in the Economy Tiger® means

that measures have to be taken in some cases so that the desired application can be 

realised with this module. Here two examples: 

The unused RAM in a 32k Economy Tiger ® containing a program is not much more 

than 10k bytes. The following hints will help you to get the maximum performance 

with little RAM: 

206 

• The default stack size for every task is 2k bytes. Include 

the line ‘USER_STACK_SIZE nnn’ to reduce the stack of 

any task down to 512 bytes. 

• The default string size is 64 bytes. Set the string size to the 

required size when declaring the string. This rule applies 

especially to ARRAYs of STRINGS. 

• Include only device drivers you require for your 

application. Especially buffered drivers like the 

LCD1.TDD, SER1.TDD, PRN1.TDD need RAM for their 

buffers. 

• In explaining the CALL instruction you find information 

about the usage of the task stack. Parameters passed to a 

subroutine, as well as local variables, use the stack 

according to their size. 

• During the development phase of your project, you may 

determine the runtime stack requirements using the 

function SYSVARN (function numbers DSTACK_FILL 

and DSTACK_FREE).

of the module (e.g. 47 µ F+100 nF). This is a must for Economy Tigers if the 

PCB does not have a power layer. 










Analog inputs and extended I/O at the same time 

Use of the analog inputs: Different electrical values always arise due to the 

internal pull-up resistances of the digital I/O pins. The inputs must be operated at a 

low impedance. The control pins of the extended port system are found here. If these 

are not used, the EPORT system can be deactivated (USER_EPORT ACT, 

NOACTIVE). If they are used, the control function can be assigned to other pins 

(integrate DEFINE_A.INC): 

command value meaning – argument 

BUSL 2 set port for data bus lines (default = port 6) 

CTRLL 3 set port for the control lines of extended I/O ports 

(default = 3) 

DCLKBMASK 4 specifies the bit mask for the DCLK line of the extended 

ports 

ACLKBMASK 5 specifies the bit mask for the ACLK line of the extended 

ports 

INEBMASK 6 specifies the bit mask for the INE line of the extended 

ports 

Example: Set control lines for the extended port system to port 8, pin 0 ...2: 

#Include DEFINE_A.INC 

user_eport CTRLL, 8 

user_eport ACLKBMASK, 00000001b 

user_eport DCLKBMASK, 00000010b 

user_eport INEBMASK, 00000100b 

Refer to the hardware manual for details of the extended I/O system. 

Integrate LCD1: Per default the Sound output for button click, beep, etc. is at pin 

L42 (the pin does not exist on Econo Tigers). The reconfiguration to pin L87 (done 

for Tiny Tigers) will interfere with the RxD0-pin as an output if the serial channel is 

also used. The function can be assigned to a different pin or deactivated. See the 

description of LCD1-Device driver. The control pins L33, L34 and L35 are activated 

by the keyboard (= extended inputs). They are at the analog ports, but the function can 

be transferred.

TINY tiger® Module E RESET-In 


TINY Tiger E has a RESET input as well as an internal RESET generator. The 

RESET input be switched or remain open in various ways. The RESET is normally 

used for different tasks: 

• create defined starting conditions for the computer during Power-Up 

• synchronization of several computers and logical devices at the start-up 

• manual abort, "Panic button" (warm start) 

• additional safety function with additional external Watchdog. 

The following replacement circuit diagram shows the function of the internal RESET 

generator. 


213

As a rule, the wish for a minimum number of components in stand-alone applications 

means that the RESET input is often left disconnected. The following illustration 

shows the connections for the production of the RESET signal arising from this. 

214 




215

4 


The time data TR01 (Power-Up) and TR02 (Fault) represent the effectively utilizable 

part of the RESET signal which only counts if Vcc is above the minimum distribution 

voltage VccMin = VDETECT -- 0.5 *VHYST. 

The typical values for the RESET generator in the standard design of the TINY Tiger 

E are: 

216 

• VDETECT: 4.6 V 

• VHYST: 0.36V 

The shortest time of the RESET signal (low-active) is a further relevant parameter! 

• TRESET_MIN > 10 usec 

TRESET_MIN is measured between the time the minimum distribution voltage 

VccMin = VDETECT - 0.5 *VHYST is reached and the end of the active phase for 

the RESET signal, which occurs when the voltage: VDETECT+ 0.5 *VHYST is 

reached. Compliance with the minimum duration of the RESET signal is essential for 

a faultless RESET of the module. 

The following 3 cases have to be considered: 

• Power UP 

• Sudden voltage fade (interference) 

• Intentional RESET during operation, warm start. 



The length of the RESET signal can also be prolonged if necessary by wiring the 

RESET input with a capacitor. Typical values are 100...500 nF. The following 

illustration shows the effect of this wiring: 


217 

4

218 



Pay attention to the extension of the effective RESET signal length in both cases: 

TR01EXP (Power-Up) and TR02 EXP (Fault). It also becomes obvious that 

particularly short voltage fades only trigger a sure RESET as long as the period of the 

fade suffices to discharge the external capacity. A recovery diode could help as an 

additional measure in such cases: 

Finally, an external RESET–signal will always be fed in if the aforementioned 

conditions cannot be fulfilled. Moreover, a central RESET should always be 

generated and forwarded to all devices in larger systems which consist of many 

computers and logical devices. Power supplies send a "Power-good" signal for this 

purpose which only becomes active (high), if all output voltages have built up stably.

TCAN RESET-in 

BASIC Tiger ® A is equipped with an internal reset generator and a reset input pin. 

Reset is used for a variety of purposes: 





The reset input of BASIC Tiger ® A is a digital input with internal pull-up resistor of 

10k. The pin can be left open when the system does not need an external reset. For a 

reset the pin must be pulled to ground at least 0.4µsec. This input is not identical with 

the internal reset net. The actual reset time is determined internally. An automatic 

reset will also take place when the supply voltage goes below 4.6V. Also short break

I/O-extension modules 

I/O extension module 

The Tiger-BASIC ® system software already supports the extension of the I/Os of the 

BASIC-Tiger ® module or Tiny-Tiger ® module by a further 1920 inputs or outputs. 

The series of I/O extension modules for BASIC-Tiger ® provides the matching 

hardware. The modules are very compact and contain a number of additional I/O lines 

and functions in a very small space. Connection is simply by means of an 8-bit port as 

databus and a few control lines. 

The base addresses of the modules are adjustable. This allows various modules to be 

combined with each other. Remember: if you are using the extended I/O system 

with logical addresses then the addresses of extended inputs must follow those of 

extended outputs. However, the better choice is using the new XIN and XOUT 

functions. These new functions use direct physical addresses and allow any address 

for inputs and outputs, even overlapping. 

Modules with open-collector outputs switch higher currents and thus have a 

corresponding power loss. Some of these modules have a built-in temperature probe 

with switching output and analog output. The switching output, for example, can be 

used to autonomously switch a fan. The temperature curve can be controlled via the 

analog output. 

The largely concordant pin assignment of the extension modules enables PCB layouts 

whereby various modules can be exchanged with only a few jumpers. The same slot 

on a module can thus be used for both extended inputs and extended outputs or in 

future even for analog inputs/outputs.

Addressing EP1-64HDE Extended Module 

The module EP1-64HDE is supported directly from the Tiger-BASIC ® EPORT- 

System. Connection to a BASIC-Tiger ® A or Tiny-Tiger ® module with a standard pin 

assignment requires the following pins: 

To connect one of the Tiger modules to the EP1-64HDE certain pins must be used, in 

order to directly support the extended I/O module with the EPORT system. The table 

below shows which pins on which Tiger ® module are to carry out a particular function

EP1-64HDE 

The base address of the extension module is created on lines ADR3...ADR6. The 

extended input ports occupy 8 addresses from the base address. The extended module 

is addressed when ‘-CS’ is ‘low’ and an address in the pre-set range is addressed. The 

base address can be increased by 80h by connecting ‘-A7’ to ‘-CS’.

Connection example EP4-32PDA: 


EP4-32PDA 

The module port addresses start at 0 when the lowest base address is set at the DIP 

switch (all DIP switches set to OFF). In the example circuit, the built-in temperature 

sensor switches a fan on when the temperature exceeds the switching threshold of the 

built-in temperature sensor. 

269

4 


Temperature sensor EP4-32PDA 

If the EP4-32PDA module is used to switch functions in its upper limit ranges it can 

become very hot. Consequently precautions have to be taken to cool the module or 

reduce its output. 

Appropriate PCB tracks should be layed to ensure that there are independent tracks 

for the module's VCC and GND pin connections. This will ensure that there will not 

be current 'bottle-necks' at certain PCB track points. 

Pay attention to the maximum permissible port power loss (0.4W), which does not 

correspond to the sum total of permissible individual pin power losses (similarly 

approx. 0.4W). 

Higher currents can be achieved by switching a number of ports in parallel. Pay 

attention to an even current distribution (resistances in the circuit paths). 

The internal temperature sensor has a switching output that can be used to switch on a 

fan. The switching threshold of the temperature sensor can be altered by using 

external resistors at the pin ‘VT’. As a suggestion, fit a Pentium processor cooler on 

the module. 

Another possible alternative is for the controlling application program to monitor the 

analog temperature output and to dynamically throttle the switching power on the 

basis of the measured increase in heat and send warning or fault messages.

Addressing the EP10-16PDA/GDE 

To connect one of the Tiger modules to the EP10-16PDA/GDE certain pins must be 

used, in order to directly support the extended I/O module with the EPORT system.

The module addresses start at 0 if the lowest base address has been set at the DIP 

switch (all DIP switches set to OFF). The opto-isolator inputs require approximately 

10mA and have no internal protective resistor. At a typical diode flow voltage of 1.3V 

and an input voltage of Uin the protective resistance is calculated as follows: 

R = Uin - 1.3V / 0,01A

Addressing the EP11-EP14-AD 

The modules EP11-8AD to EP14-64AD have a different number of analog channels. 

Select the analog port with pins ADR0... ADR2 with '-CS' at the same time set to 

'low'. Each port in turn has 8 channels. A channel is selected by writing a control byte 

to the corresponding port. This control byte also sets the channel's other parameters.

Extended I/O-system 

The extended I/O system of the BASIC Tiger ® permits the implementation of Input 

and Output Ports (ePorts) with a few, low-cost external components. Up to 1920 

extended I/O pins are supported. The Tiger BASIC ® accesses the extended I/O's in the 

same way it accesses internal ports. The control of extended I/O-pins requires a data 

bus and three further I/O lines, ‘Aclk’, ‘Dclk’ and ‘In-enable’. Access to the extended 

I/O system occurs on the same data bus used for other devices like LCD, Printer or 

parallel I/O. Each device has its own control lines. Future device drivers will also use 

the same data bus. The extended I/O system is integrated in the run time kernel and 

does not require a device driver. 

The following pins are used as standard pins by the module type A:

* Tiny Tiger does not have the standard beep pin L42. The beep pin must be placed 

on another pin in the line ‘INSTALL_DEVICE’.

All lines are automatically supervised by the device drivers LCD1.TDD, PIN1.TDD 

and PRN1.TDD. No device driver is required when using the extended I/O-Pins. 

Both the extended port system and the device drivers can protect individual port lines 

against access by the IN and OUT instructions. The only exceptions are low-level 

instructions, which can always access the ports. See also ‘The software side of the 

extended I/O-Ports’, page 329. 


Since the internal I/O-Ports already have addresses the extended ports are addressed 

through logic addresses which do not necessarily have to match the addresses of the 

hardware circuits. The software for the ePort systems adds an offset to the logic 

BYTE addresses to physically address the ePorts. The logic addresses are split into 

separate address areas for output and inputs, which are from 10H (16) to FFH (255). 

Following the last address for output all addresses are input addresses. The last logical 

output address can be set by an USER_EPORT command.

The example shows how extended I/O ports are accessed in Tiger-BASIC ® : 

' 

IN 7, N ' read byte from port-7 --> N 

OUT 6, MASK, VALUE ' Value -> Port 6 

' 0-Bit in mask --> Port-Bit

' 

IN 90H, N ' read byte from port-90h --> N 

OUT 33H, MASK, VALUE ' Value -> Port 33H 

' 0-Bit in mask --> Port-Bit 

' does not change 

The following example table shows which addresses result from an offset of -10H, 

which must be given as a negative byte value: F0H. This parameter is interpreted as a 

signed byte, but variables of the type BYTE in Tiger-BASIC ® are unsigned.

Inputs 90H (144) FFH (240) 80H (128) EFH (240) 

This looks as follows on the Plug & Play Lab (Offset -8): 

logical (BASIC) physical (decoding) 

from address to address from address to address 

Outputs 10H (16) 8FH (139) 8H (0) 87H (135) 

Inputs 90H (144) FFH (255) 88H (136) F8H (255) 

The Plug & Play Lab has 64 extended outputs. These are addressed via the addresses 

10h→17h (hexadecimal) or 16→23 (decimal). Standard: the last output address is 

1FH (31). 

Extended inputs can be found on the Plug & Play Lab in a modified form as a 

keyboard. Since the keyboard is not fully decoded, it is mirrored in the entire address 



area. The device driver LCD1.TDD scans the keyboard rows for the logical addresses 

from 98H to A7H, in other words physically from 90H to 9FH. However, the scan 

addresses can e set (ESC-k command of LCD1.TDD). 

The schematic shows the hardware generating addresses for extended I/O. The 

address bus is built by an 8 bit latch taking over the address through the signal ‘Aclk’. 

If necessary addresses are further decoded to access output latches, input bus drivers, 

etc. 

The address latch is necessary only once, while decoding of outputs and inputs is 

separate. The input decoder is only activated when ‘-INE’ (in-enable) is low. 

Sometimes, in simple designs further decoding is not necessary. One address may be 

mirrored in the whole address area. More complicated designs have as well extended 

outputs as extended inputs together with a keyboard.

Address generation by the ePort systems: 

The following pages show examples for a variety of applications. 

320 


Extended Outputs 


The extended outputs are implemented using standard components of the 74 series of 

integrated circuits: 

• ‘138 Address-Decoder 

• ‘377 Octal D-Latch 

The address is transferred to the first latch, 74HC377, by a pulse to the line ‘Aclk’. 

The address bus leads to the 74HC138. This component is a 3-to-8 Multiplexer. This 

activates one of the 74HC377's using its enable line, according to the pending address. 

In the case of the extended outputs, the data is transferred to the addressed output 

latch with ‘Dclk’. In the following example circuit for 32 extended outputs, the 

physical addresses start at 0 and are mirrored in the entire address area: 

• 0→4 

• 10H→14H 

• 20H→24H 

• ... 

• 70H→74H 

With addresses above 80H, the signal A7 at HC138 prevents further mirroring. The 

offset from logical to physical addresses in this case is -10H (F0H). All control lines 

are operated via the extended I/O system of the BASIC Tiger ® module when an OUT 

instruction is executed with a corresponding address. 


321

322 



The software system of the extended I/O must be adapted to the hardware. The 

following example supposes that the physical offset of the extended port system is - 

10h. (See also: ‘The software side of the extended I/O-Ports’ on page 329.)

Extended Inputs 

The extended inputs are implemented using standard components of the 74 series of 

integrated circuits: 

324 

• ‘138 Address-Decoder 

• ‘377 Octal D-Latch 

• ‘245 Bus-Transceiver 

The address is transferred to the first latch, 74HC377, by a pulse to the line ‘Aclk’. 

The address bus leads to the 74HC138. This component is a 3-to-8 Multiplexer. 

According to the pending address, one of the 74HC245's is activated using its enable 

line, as soon as it switches to ‘low’ state. 

In the following example circuit for 32 extended inputs, the physical addresses start at 

80H and are mirrored in the entire address area: 

• 80H→84H 

• 90H→94H 

• A0H→A4H 

• ... 

• F0H→F4H 

With addresses below 80H, the signal A7 at HC138 prevents duplication. The offset 

from logical to physical addresses in this case is -10H (F0H). All control lines are 

operated via the extended I/O system of the BASIC Tiger ® module when an IN 

instruction is executed with a corresponding address. 

If a keyboard is connected to the BASIC Tiger ® module and the driver LCD1.TDD is 

being used, certain input addresses are seized by the keyboard. This means that the 

extended inputs have to be alternatively decoded. An example circuit without a 

keyboard in the system is shown below.

Example of extended inputs and keyboard 

Example of extended inputs and keyboard 

Since the driver LCD1.TDD scans a keyboard and with this feature occupies certain 

extended input addresses, the input address area has to be alternatively coded for 

simultaneous implementation of the keyboard and extended input pins. Since the 

keyboard is not fully decoded on the Plug & Play Lab, further measures must be taken 

to implement extended inputs on this board. 

The driver LCD1.TDD uses the logical addresses 98H→A7H to scan the keyboard. 

With an offset of -10H used for extended I/O's, the physical scan addresses are 

from 88H to 97H. On the Plug & Play Lab, a -8 offset for extended I/O's results in 

physical scan addresses from 90H to 9FH. The example on the following page shows 

address coding for a keyboard with 128 keys and 24 extended input ports. 

The addresses: The main address decoder i.c. only activates in the address area above 

80H (through A7), where it splits addresses into groups of 8. From addresses 88H to 

97H, individual keyboard columns are activated by 2 further HC138's. The upper 

HC245 is enabled via two diodes when any of the keyboard columns is accessed and 

reads keyboard rows. This is the keyboard's physical address area. The 3 extended 

input ports can also be addressed through 3 groups of 8 addresses: 

• 80H→8FH 

• 90H→9FH 

• A0H→A7H

The software side of the extended I/O-Ports 


The extended I/O-Ports are addressed from Tiger BASIC ® in exactly the same way as 

internal ports. 

The control software for extended I/O must be adapted to the actual conditions since 

the lower addresses are already occupied by internal ports and address duplication can 

occur on external ports through incomplete address decoding. 

The compiler instruction 

USER_ EPORT Command, Argument 

sets system parameters in the BASIC Tiger ® module which relate to the control of the 

external ports. This instruction may also indirectly affect certain internal ports. The 

commands are defined in the Include file DEFINE_A.INC. This file thus has to be 

included before using one of the following commands. 

Commands for the compiler instruction USER_EPORT: 


329

DCLKBMASK Bitmask specifies the bit mask for the DCLK line of 

the extended ports 

ACLKBMASK Bitmask specifies the bit mask for the ACLK line of 

the extended ports 

INEBMASK Bitmask specifies the bit mask for the INE line of the

PHYSOFFS Offset Sets the logical to physical addresses offset. 

NROFOUT Number Sets the number of output ports to be 

initialized. 

INITIAL Base, HEX-String Specifies the initialization value for the 

extended ports; starts initialization from 

address base. 

LASTLADR Address Specifies the last logical address used for 

extended outputs. Subsequent addresses are 

extended inputs. 



Following a reset, the extended ports can be addressed and the activity flag is set to 

ACTIVE. In order to use the corresponding I/O ports as normal ports for the 

controllers, the activity flag must be reset: 

USER_ EPORT ACT, NOACTIVE 

ACT sets the activity flag; in this example to NOACTIVE. 

USER_EPORT PHYSOFFS, 0F8H 

PHYSOFFS sets the offset from the logical to the physical address; In the 

following example: to 0F8H (= -8). 

Physical offset cannot be set to 0. 

USER_ EPORT PHYSOFFS, 0F8H ‘ set offset -8 (BYTE!) 

OUT 10H, Value ‘ on the extended I/O-bus appears 

‘ the physical address 8 (=10H-8) 

Moreover, the number of output ports to be initialized can be adjusted with the 

command NROFOUT: 

USER_EPORT NROFOUT, Number 

NROFOUT sets the number of output ports to be initialized. 

Number e.g. 10H (16), so that only 16 output ports are initialized. Note: 

ports, not output bits. 

Set this value as accurately as possible. An excessively high value leads to 

unnecessary operations. Also, with incomplete decoding ‘address duplication’ errors 

may occur. If only a few ePorts are used, components can be saved through 

incomplete decoding. Using 8 ports, only 3 bits need to be used for address decoding, 

e.g. Bits 0, 1 & 2 on a 74HC138. The I/O addresses are then repeated at intervals 

of 8H. The I/O address areas are then duplicated. Example: 

OUT 10H, MASK, VALUE ' outputs to ePort #1. 

OUT 18H, MASK, VALUE ' also outputs to ePort #1.

Modify keyboard 

The keyboard requires the data bus L60→L67 and two further I/O lines ‘aclk’ and 

‘keyb’ (‘keyb’=’Input-enable’). 

The keyboard occupies an extended input address for each column. Keyboards with 

up to 16 columns or 8 rows, i.e. 128 keys, are supported. Each keyboard column can 

also be provided with a DIP switch and is handled accordingly. 

The keyboard driver uses certain HC-MOS-IC for control purposes: 

74HC377: as an address latch as well as 1 or 2 74HC138, to control 8 or 16 columns. 

Each column requires a diode and has up to 8 keys. 

74HC245: to read out the rows of the keyboard with a low-signal at the ‘enable’ input. 

Each row requires a pull-up resistance, e.g. 47k. Some membrane keyboards need 

less, 22k or even 10k due to keyboard capacities. A maximum of 8 rows are possible. 

The driver also generates sounds. A corresponding (self-oscillating) output device has 

to be connected to BASIC Tiger ® pin L42, (Module A pin-No. 35) e.g. the beep of the 

Plug & Play Labs board. 

The 'Shift' LED of the keyboard is connected to the least significant bit of the 

extended output port. 

334 



The illustration shows a simple keyboard, which does not use extended port inputs. 

The device driver initially assigns key Scan-Codes in accordance with the used 

keyboard matrix layout. Following inclusion of the driver, a key assignment table can 

be created with an ESC command, so that all keys generate the desired code in the 

respective application. Alternatively, a key attribute table can be loaded. 

Apart from the simple key codes, a table can be created for shifted-key codes. Each of 

these tables consists of 128 bytes. 

Before using shifted-key codes, at least one key must be assigned the attribute ‘Shift’. 

Further key attributes affect the auto-repeat behavior of the keys. 


335 

4

4 


A key with the attribute CTRL generates a skew of minus 40h (64dec.) to the key 

codes of the coding table. 

When adapting your own keyboard, the program 'KEY_NO.TIG' (subdirectory 

APPLICAT) can be of assistance. The scan codes of the keys are shown on the output 

device. This helps you find the position of every key in the code table. 

DIP-switches are connected to the keyboard matrix. One diode is required for each 

DIP-switch to prevent short circuits between the rows. 

336 


Each DIP switch needs a diode to avoid shorts between the rows. 


The following example shows the basic ESC-commands used to set scan addresses 

and to determine DIP switch rows. The example supposes that the physical offset of 

the extended I/O system is -10h. The DIP switch in the above circuit is on column 8 

(count begins with 1). 

#INCLUDE DEFINE_A.INC 

USER_EPORT PHYSOFFS, 0F0h ‘ phys. offset = -10h 

TASK MAIN 

INSTALL_DEVICE #LCD, “LCD1.TDD“ 

‘ -------- set column 8 to DIP switch 

PUT #LCD, “D& 

“ 

‘ logical scan addresses 

PUT #LCD, “k& 

“ 

‘ Adaptation of scan codes follows ... 

END 

Adapting your keyboard 

The keyboard is supported by including the driver LCD1.TDD. Further information 

regarding keyboard modifications and configuring special functions i.e. Shift, Ctrl or 

DIP-switches, can be found in the drivers descriptions in the Device Driver Manual.

Frequently asked questions 

5 Frequently asked questions 

Can I program the BASIC Tiger ® module in a machine language too? 

No. The only available level is programming in Tiger BASIC ® . Tiger BASIC ® 

generates very fast program code to meet the user's wishes for higher speeds. You 

should choose a Tiger module of the corresponding performance class depending on 

the throughput or response behavior requirements. 

The absence of a lower language level has the advantage that Tiger BASIC ® 

programs are easily portable between various module types. Moreover, it is 

practically impossible to accidentally cause a crash in the runtime system, which 

makes an important contribution to the high reliability of BASIC Tiger ® . 

How much current can the I/O-Pins of the module provide or draw? 

If all pins are loaded equally you should not greatly exceed 1mA per pin (

5 


If, for example, a device driver such as "LCD1.TDD" is using a Port-Pin, the driver 

may block this pin for all other accesses (with IN or OUT) if necessary. Although you 

are allowed to execute a task at such a port with OUT, the reserved pins remain 

completely unchanged. This is a protective mechanism to ensure the correct function 

of the connected peripheral devices and it simplifies programming since no explicit 

measures have to be taken to leave such pins unchanged 

In the Plug & Play Lab the pins L60→L67 and L30→L37 are assigned to control 

extended ports and thus cannot be addressed with IN or OUT. 

You can dispense with the activity of extended ports by using the compiler instruction 

USER_EPORT ACT, NOACTIVE (See pages from 329). These pins can then be 

addressed as normal. 

Can RAM or Flash memories be extended via the bus? 

No, BASIC Tiger ® modules are autonomous computer modules, not CPU blocks. 

BASIC Tigers ® have no external bus for memory, a corresponding module with the 

desired memory size should be selected and used. This ensures the high reliability and 

good EMC values. 

In certain applications, however, it may prove practical to connect additional memory 

(RAM, ROM, disks ...) e.g. to accommodate very large data volumes or to use 

movable memory. This can be achieved either via a separate device driver, I²C-bus or 

via corresponding BASIC subroutines. 

Can PEEK and POKE be used for a direct access to the hardware? 

The instructions PEEK and POKE enable access to free areas of the FLASH memory. 

This is usually used to store data that must be retained after a power-down and 

power-up. Examples of such data include calibration tables, registered measured 

values, databases, operating time counters etc. Tiger BASIC ® provides the 

programmer with those FLASH memory areas that are not occupied by BASIC 

programs for this purpose. 

In accordance with the characteristics of the FLASH memory, areas are only 

available in complete blocks. Tiger BASIC ® automatically ensures that a BASIC 

program can never accidentally erase itself. The number and size of the free sectors 

depends on the module type and program size. The FLASH memory is always erased 

in entire sectors (Content = FFh). Further information on using the FLASH can be 

found on page 187. 

342 



Why are the DIP switches always initially read incorrectly after a power up or reset? 

The result of the last scan is always read. You have to wait for a scan that is carried 

out just after the reset, i.e. around 20 msec.

Tips and assistance 

Should you encounter difficulties with a Tiger BASIC ® program: 

344 

• Try to reduce the problem to the simplest possible 

example. This should result in a maximum of one page, 

usually only a few lines. 

• Make a note of how much RAM and Flash the 

BASIC Tiger ® module that you are using has. Use the 

command Tiger status in the menu View. 

• Which Compiler version are you using (see About... in the 

Help menu). 

• Which version are the involved device drivers (see Device 

driver list ... in the View menu). 

• Describe the error as precisely as possible. 

• In what context does the problem occur? 

• Does it always occur at the same place or only 

occasionally? 

• List all of your communication numbers such as fax 

number, telephone number, etc. in your inquiry so that we 

can reach you as quickly as possible.

Appendix - Gray Code 

Gray Code 

The Gray Code is arranged so that every transition from one value to the next value 

involves only one bit change. This is a variable weighted code and is cyclic. 

The gray code is sometimes referred to as reflected binary, because the first eight 

values compare with those of the last 8 values, but in reverse order. The gray code is 

often used in mechanical applications such as shaft encoders.

ANSI Control Sequences 

Appendix - ANSI Control Sequences 

The below listed ANSI Control Sequences are useful, when a serial ANSI terminal or 

a PC with a terminal program with ANSI emulation is connected. The output on the 

screen can be positioned and, if applicable, represented in colors. The list below 

shows the most important sequences. 

ANSI Control Sequences begin with ESC followed by „[“. Further bytes serve as 

commands, parameters, and possibly as an end character. The table shows for a 

byte, exactly like in strings in Tiger BASIC ® . Following representations are 

abbreviations: 

= line number as binary value 

= column number as binary value 

= binary value 

A missing value is assumed to be ‚1’. In Tiger-BASIC ® an ANSI Control Sequence 

can be put out like this (cursor in line 2, column 3): 

PUT #1, “[;H“ 

ANSI Sequence Function 

ESC [2J Erases screen and sets cursor to Home position. 

ESC [;H Moves cursor to line lb, column cb (Home is ;) 

ESC [;f Moves cursor to line lb, column cb (Home is ;) 

ESC [A Moves cursor nb lines up, the column is not changed, max. until line 

1 is reached. 

ESC [B Moves cursor nb lines down, the column is not changed, max. until 

last line is reached. 

ESC [C Moves cursor nb characters to the right, the line is not changed, 

max. until last position is reached. 

ESC [D Moves cursor nb characters to the left, the line is not changed, max. 

until first position is reached. 

ESC [6n Device reports the cursor position: 

ESC [;R 

ESC [s Device stores the current cursor position. 

ESC [u Device moves cursor to the most recently stored position. 

ESC [K Deletes a line from cursor position to end of line.
