Instruction Manual

24
The host computer manual provides the information needed to write this type of
program. An example in BASIC is provided in Appendix 1 for the IBM PC. An
alternative method for system checkout is to use a terminal to verify correct operation of
the ANAFAZE 8 PID and the interface cable.
6.4 MANUAL OPERATION WITH HOST COMPUTER
After the software, as described in section 6.3, is written the host computer is
connected to the ANAFAZE 8 PID as described in section 3. The system is tested
manually by typing commands on the host computer keyboard and checking the
response from the ANAFAZE 8 PID. All commands can be checked, channels
programmed for input types, and data measured and displayed at the host
computer. Check that baud rates and unit numbers are correctly set. Please note
that all letters must be CAPITALS.
6.5 APPLICATION SOFTWARE
Application software can now be written using the terminal emulation software as
a driver for the ANAFAZE 8 PID. The list below suggests some possible
measurement and control routines for inclusion in application software.
 Ramp and Soak
 Profiles and automatic multi-job set-up
 Adaptive Control
 Auto-tune
 Cascade Control
 Graphics Displays
