The TRANSFER Program
12.2 STARTING THE SERIES 200 PROGRAM
The program for the HP Series 200 computer is provided on the supplemental disc, and should be started
before starting the TRHM'ZFEF program on the HP-71. Like the rest of the HP 44456 package, it runs
under the HP Series 200 BASIC 3.0 (or greater) operating system. The program is provided in two forms:
e As a subprogram for use with the rest of the HP 44456 package.
See "Using The FROM71
Subprogram" later in this section.
e As a ready-to-use program,
with
necessary subprograms
from
the
HP 44456
package.
Instructions follow.
To run the ready-to-use program on the Series 200 computer, load =F EF ZEE from the disc and RUN it.
The program will prompt for the address of the HP-IL/HP-IB interface. If the interface is configured as
shown above, and if the HP-IB interface on the Series 200 computer is at select code 7, the proper
response would be 711. The program will then prompt for the name of the vector set.
This name,
suffixed by successive digits, will be the name of the vectors transferred from the HP-71. For example,
responding MYOIATAH: MEMORY B14 13 to the prompts for the vector set name will result in vectors
named MY DATHL, MYDATAZ, and so on in the internal memory volume (= MEMORY y E415).
At this point, the program will be ready to receive data from the mailbox.
During execution, the Series 200 transfer program displays status messages describing the state of the
transfer:
o Before the HP-71 begins transmitting the data, the Series 200 computer will display "Waiting For
Data".
o After data transmission starts, the Series 200 computer will display the vector name, followed by
a running count of the number of items transferred.
eo When the Series 200 computer is waiting for another vector to be sent, it displays "Awaiting
Another Vector". This means that the HP-71 is between vectors or is awaiting entry of another
group number.
