In the last chapter you learned how to perform Steps 1—4 of the eight
basic programming steps. This chapter focuses on Step 5—using the
programming console to enter the program code in the CPU.
The functions of the programming console are presented step-by-step as
we enter the program created at the end of Chapter 3. The last part of this
chapter explains how the programming console’s editing functions work
to make writing and modifying programs a lot more convenient.
In an earlier chapter the functions of the color-coded keyboard were
briefly mentioned. Now let’s take a closer look at each of these keys.
Numeric keys
These are the white keys numbered 0 to 9.
These keys are used to input numeric values used for program data. For
instance, in our program in the last chapter, these keys would be used to
input the input/output numbers and timer/counter numbers and values.
These keys are also used in combination with the function key (FUN) for
special instructions. These instructions are explained in Appendix B.
CLR key
This red key is used to clear the display. It is also a key you'll use while
keying in the “password,” which is used to foil unauthorized access to the
PC's program. Rather than using an actual password, though, you gain
access using this two-keystroke entry:
When you do this, on the console display you'll see written either
PROGRAM, MONITOR, or RUN. Pressing the CLR key again makes the
word disappear and prepares the PC for the operation you have selected
with the three-position mode switch.
