1.1 OVERVIEW

With your PPC, you received a software CD with PPC communications software. These programs

are intended to make it easy for you to get familiar with your PPC using any PC compatible computer.

There are three programs on the disk:

•

TERMINAL: Will transform your computer into a terminal to work with the PPC. It is a useful

program when first learning about your PPC and its operation. Further information on using the

terminal program is given below.

The TERMINAL.EXE program is intended to be used as an interactive communication link

between the PPC and a host computer. This program handles all the proper protocol to assure

communication between the PPC and the host computer with very little operator intervention.

The source code is also included and can be used as a guide for writing your own

application software.

•

I/O: An elementary program allowing you to send single commands to the PPC and read back

its response.

•

SAMPLE: Sample of a typical PPC initialization and the beginning of an automated sequence.

This program is listed in the manual.

1.2 GETTING STARTED

To initiate the program, type TERMINAL at the DOS prompt.

The host computer can communicate to the PPC through the following ports: COM1, COM2 and an

IEEE-488 interface. The first screen will prompt you for the interface you would like to use. COM1 or

COM2 or IEEE can be selected by pressing <1>, <2> or <3> respectively.

For IEEE communications, the TERMINAL program assumes that an IEEE interface card PC-488

from CAPITAL EQUIPMENT CORPORATION (CEC:

host computer. The terminal program will not work with any other IEEE-488 interface card.
