sure that no more data
will be sent - otherwise such data would be
misinterpreted as keyboard
instructions. Also the sending terminal might
lock-up if RTS is not
held true until the End-Of-File is reached. If more
data is sent
then S4 stays in the routine - the user should stop
the file transmission
from the sending end.
Error-check failures built into the file-format are
reported e.g.
Checksum errors are reported together with the
address at which the
error was detected, which is usually the end of the
row in which the
error occurred. When a file is received correctly
S4 displays the
last address where code was stored.
<MI>Before returning to command mode, S4
waits until the data input
has been inactive for at least one second. This is
to "run-out" any
extra data to avoiding hanging-up the sending
computer. When sending
from a batch-file, a delay of over one second must
be inserted before
the next command, to prevent S4 seeing it as
"garbage".<D>
