No.
Comm.Mode 0 RW
Comm, Serial communication
Range Ability Default
The Comm.Mode at startup
is determined by the LSB of
EEprom.7. Useful bits to set are 0, 1, 4 and 7. Set Bit 7 for all
nodes in a daisy chain, except for one node. This setting
determines the default node to communicate with at startup (i.e.
before the first select sequence is sent.)
Bit0 (1) Output from PL program disabled. All DISP, error messages, etc.
are thrown away.
Bit1 (2) Computer mode enabled on serial channel and terminal mode
disabled.
Bit2 (4) Echo off. Special communication mode is enabled.
The unit will not echo characters when typed and the DISP
statement will only print the values, not the register name.
Bit3 (8) Enables special behaviour of the computer mode protocoll for
downloading applicaion SW. Normally the contents of the
application memory is cleared by the downloadi process prior to
tha actual transfer of new PL2 SW. This bit overides that
behaviour so that partial download of PL2 SW is possiblee.
Typically this can be used to speed up the dowmload of say a
Camtable or another part of an application. The part of SW
handled this way must be set to a specific part of the memory by
using the .ORG directive.
Bit4 (16) Xon/Xoff protocol is enabled. Xoff (Control-S) stops output; Xon
(Control-Q) resumes output. If the node is deselected, the output
is stopped when Xon/Xoff is enabled; it is thrown away
otherwise.
Bit5 (32) Output is disabled due to a received Xoff.
Bit6 (64) A start of Select is detected (Control-Z) and the controller is now
waiting for the next character in the sequence (the node
number).
Bit7 (128) Node is deselected. No text output can be made at the moment.
If an output is attempted (DISP, etc.), the result is thrown away if
Bit 4 = 0.
If Bit 4 = 1, the result stays in the output buffer. If the output
buffer becomes full, the executing DISP statement waits until the
node is selected again.
Comm.Baud 1 75..19200 RW
Supported baud rates are: 75,150, 300, 600, 1200, 2400, 4800,
9600 and 19200. (Only from Version 4.x. The baud rate value is
now checked for validity before accepted.)
Comm.Node 2 0..15 RW
The node number to use when using the daisy-chain option. The
initial value used after power up is stored in EEprom.6.Setting
