3.2 WDT2200 Modes of Operation

There are three modes of operation in the WDT2200:

a. Ready Mode

b. User Mode

c. Supervisor Mode

The Ready mode is the default operating mode. In the Ready mode, the WDT2200 is configured as a

portable programmable device, and is capable of receiving files (Download) from or transmitting

files (Upload) to a Host PC. Data files or recorded information collected from the WDT2200 are

uploaded to the host whenever the host program is ready to receive the collected data. Some

applications may also require prepared data files (e.g. database information). These data files are

loaded to the WDT2200 in the same manner as application programs are downloaded. The

WDT2200 carries out upload and download operations through its built-in RS232 port. The operator

can later select one of the executable applications to run in the portable terminal via the keypad or

host command sequence.

After the Warm Start, the WDT2200 enters the Ready mode and shows the Ready mode screen as

shown left. The first line indicates the model code and BIOS firmware version number. The second

line shows the size of the installed RAM. The third line shows the prompt, ">" which indicates that

the terminal passed the Power-on-test and is in the Ready mode of operation.
