SETUP AND OPERATION CHAPTER 2

Page 6 RPC-2300

A technique used to further program documentation and

reduce code space is the use of comments in a

downloaded file. For example, you could have the

following in a file written on your editor:

'Check VAT temperature

'Read the output from the RTD and

' calculate the temperature

2200 a = ain(0) :'Get temp

The first 3 comments downloaded to the SBS-2300

would be ignored. Similarly, the empty lines between

comm ents are a lso ignored . Line 2200, with its

comment, is a part of the program and could be listed.

The major pena lty by wr iting a progr am this way is

increased download time.

NOTE: Some versions of PC SmartLINK may

optionally strip comments before downloading. Check

your manual to see if this option is available.

Notice that you can write a program in lower case

characters. CAMBASIC II translates them to upper

case.

Some program mers put "N EW" as the first line in the

file. During debugging, it is common to insert

"temporary" lines. Adding NEW ensures that these lines

are gone. D ownloading time is incr eased when the old

program is still pre sent.

If you like to write programs in separate modules, you

can download them separately. Modules are assigned

blocks of line numbers. Start up code might be from 1

to 999. Interrupt handling (keypad, serial ports) might

be from lines 1000 to 1499. Display output might be

from 1500 to 2500. The program mer m ust determine

the number of lines required for each section.

When replacing a program or section, downloading time

is increased. Blocks of line numbers cannot be

renumbered by CAMBASIC II when other parts of the

program are installed. However , if a particular section

is the only program downloaded, then line renumbering

in that range is possible. Refer to the CAMBASIC II

RENU M comm and.

CAM BASIC II automatically formats a line for

minimum code space and increased readability. For

example, you could download the following line of code:

10 fora=0to5

When you listed this line, it would appear as:

10 FOR A = 0 TO 5

Spaces are initially displayed but not stored. The

following line:

10 for a = 0 to 5

would be compressed and displayed as in the second

example above. Spaces are removed.

The CAMBA SIC II Programming Manual has more

information about increasing program speed and editing

options.

Instead of uploading and downloading programs, you can

save them to the on card flash EP ROM . T his is useful if

you are using a terminal to write programs. Make sure

the 'AUTORU N' jumper is installed (See Chapter 3

SAVING PROGRAMS). To prevent automatic program

execution on power up, insert the STOP statement at the

beginning of the program (such as line 1). When you

power up the SBS-2300, the progr am is tra nsferred into

RAM and executed. Delete the program line with the

STOP statement to normally start programs. When

saving programs, be sure to reenter the STOP statement

with its line number.
