SETUP AND OPERATION CHAPTER 2

Page 4 RPC-150

FIRST TIME OPERATION

Become familiar with the locations of the connectors

before getting started. See Figure 2-1.

RPC -150 jump ers have been set at the factory to operate

the system immediately. For first time operation, do not

install any connectors or parts unless specified below.

Jumpers should be kept in default positions.

1. The RPC -150 needs + 5 ±0.25 volts at less than 100

ma. Any we ll regulated supply that supplies this

will work. Be careful when using "switching"

power supplies. Some supplies do not re gulate

properly unless they are adequately loaded.

The power supply should have a rise time to + 5

volts in under 100 ms. If it takes longer than this,

you may have to m anually reset the card. M ost

power supplies me et this requir ement.

Make sure pow er is off. Connect the power supply

to the appropriately marked terminals on the RPC-

150.

2. You can use either a PC or CR T term inal to

program the RPC-150. Connect one end of the

VTC-10 connector to then 10 pin COM1 (console)

port on the RPC-150. Refer to Figure 2-1 for

connector location.

Using a PC

Connect the VTC-10 serial cable to the PC's COM1

or COM 2 port. Y ou may need a 9 pin male to 25

pin female adapter. The VTC-10 is designed to plug

directly into the 9 pin serial port connector on a PC.

Start up your serial communication program (PC

SmartLINK or other). Set communication

parameters to 19. 2K baud, 8 data bits, no parity, 1

stop.

Using a Terminal

Follow your terminal instructions to set the baud

rate to 19.2K baud, 8 data bits, no parity, and 1

stop. You may need a 9 pin male to 25 pin female

adapter to connect the VTC-10.

PC or Term inal

The RPC-150 does not send a CTS signal to the PC

or terminal. If your terminal or comm unications

software requires this or other signals (DCD , DSR),

you may have to tie them to the appropriate levels.

You may be able to ignore these lines in software.

3. Turn on your power supply. On power up a

CAMBASIC (tm) V1.00

If a nonsense message appears, your terminal or PC

may not be set to the appropriate communication

parameters. If the system still does not respond,

refer to TROUBLESHOOTING later in this chapter.

4. The system is now in the " imme diate mod e" and is

ready for you to start programming. T ype the

following program (in upper or lower case:

10 FOR X = 0 TO 2

20 PRINT " Hello ";

30 NEXT

40 PRINT

Now type RUN

The system will display:

Hello Hello Hello

UPLOADING AND DOWNLOADING

PROGRAMS

Downloading program s means transferring them from

your PC (or terminal) to RAM on the RPC-150.

Uploading means transferring programs from RAM back

to the PC. This section explains how to do both of these

procedures using PC SmartLink. Generalized

instructions for other terminal programs are given later.

Uploading programs

In the previous section, you wrote a test program. To

upload that program to a PC and save it to disk:

1. Press the < F1> key. A windo w with the main

menu will appear.

2. Press the letter U (upper or lower case). Your

program will begin to transfer from RAM to the

PC. When m enu appears.

3. To save a program to disk, type the letter S. You

are prompted for a file name. Enter the file name

you want the program saved under.
