EXPLANATION
EXAMPLE
VER.V09F
SECTION 3.4
!NP [n filename]
Inputs a file via the serial port.
INP can be used to load files in either Intel
Hex format, with checksums etc., or as 8-bit
data but without any error checking. The second
method of loading is, however, faster than using
Intel Hex.
(1) Loading Intel Hex files
Files to be loaded must be in Intel Hex format,
see section 9.11, HEX DATA FORMAT.
If they are
command files, overlay files or data files etc.,
this is achieved with a standard utility
reproduced in section 9,5, DEMONSTRATION
PROGRAMS.
Typing INP readies HUNTER to receive data, which
is put into RAM page O. The data is not writ ten
directly into a file. When completed the number
of 256 byte blocks loaded is displayed. It may
be copied to a file using the SAVE command, or
if it is a program, executed with the Execute
command.
(2) Loading 8-bit format.
Data is loaded directly into a specified file in
blocks of 256 bytes. The format of the command
is:
INP n filename
For example a 14k overlay file:
>INP 56 OVERLAY1.0VR
The communications must have parity set to 8-bit
and SERIG (Serial ignore character) set to off,
The number of blocks must be specified because
there is no end of file character.
If too many
blocks are expected, the screen will display
'waiting', and reception may be terminated with
'ESC'.
