gramming Console and the operation necessary to prepare for program in-
put. 4-6 Inputting, Modifying, and Checking the Program describes actual
procedures for inputting the program into memory.
Depending on the model of Programming Console used, it is either con-
nected to the CPU via a Programming Console Adapter and Connecting Ca-
ble or it is mounted directly to the CPU.
The keyboard of the Programming Console is functionally divided by key
color into the following four areas:
The ten white keys are used to input numeric program data such as program
addresses, data area addresses, and operand values. The numeric keys are
also used in combination with the function key (FUN) to enter instructions
with function codes.
The CLR key clears the display and cancels current Programming Console
operations. It is also used when you key in the password at the beginning of
programming operations. Any Programming Console operation can be can-
celled by pressing the CLR key, although the CLR key may have to be
pressed two or three times to cancel the operation and clear the display.
The yellow keys are used for writing and correcting programs. Detailed ex-
planations of their functions are given later in this section.
Except for the SHIFT key on the upper right, the gray keys are used to input
instructions and designate data area prefixes when inputting or changing a
program. The SHIFT key is similar to the shift key of a typewriter, and is used
to alter the function of the next key pressed. (It is not necessary to hold the
SHIFT key down; just press it once and then press the key to be used with
it.)
