CU-8000 and RS-232C/USB Interface Cable (option)
The CU-8000 is an IrDA-compliant communications unit which is required when your host computer is
not equipped with an IrDA interface port. The CU-8000 exchanges data and programs with the BHT
optically, and with the host computer via the RS-232C/USB interface cable.
You may directly connect two BHTs with each other by using a commercially available metal cable
having 3-pole mini stereo plugs (as a direct-connect interface cable). You also connect the BHT directly
with the host computer or with the modem by using the direct-connect interface cable compatible with
the target equipment. (NOTE: The direct-connect interface port of the BHT is not designed to stand
frequent connecting/disconnecting. You are, therefore, recommended to use the CU-8000 where you
expect to do a lot of connecting and disconnecting of the BHT to/from a host computer.)
BHT-BASIC Compiler (option)
This Compiler compiles a source program written in BHT-BASIC by an editor of the host computer
running the MS-DOS, into the object program (user program) which can be used in the BHT. The
compiled and linked program file is named "XXX.PD3."(XXX: File name you can set arbitrarily under the
MS-DOS rules) You should download it to the BHT by using Ir-Transfer Utility C/Ir-Transfer Utility
E/Transfer Utility.
Ir-Transfer Utility C (option)
Running on the host computer, this utility transfers files between the BHT and the host computer. For its
file transfer control procedure, the utility uses the BHT-Ir protocol. (For the details about the BHT-Ir
protocol, refer to Chapter 3, Subsection 3.4.2.)
To transfer files under any of the following conditions, use Ir-Transfer Utility C:
- At transmission speeds of 115200 or 57600 bps (This may be impossible depending upon the host
computer type.)
- When the BHT is placed on the CU-8000
- When transferring via the direct-connect interface of the BHT
