You said "Are you sure you copied the code correctly from the handheld? Maybe it's a difference in the way the handheld renders the program vs. DirectSoft."
Hmmm, we did use directsoft but.... well I really am not sure about that, my cousin read the code off the laptop and I wrote it down while shivering cold ....... all 163 lines
And/or this example was not the only one I don't understand the Mneumonics of. I have the same for cnt ct6 ctr6 then different for ct3 ctA3 ct7 ctA7 and others.
SO I will make an honest attempt to freeze if necessary to get the whole thing sometime this week.
I did since my last message learn why the double code, ie input and reset, did I understand it right
While I type, I hate to be wrong and often look up things I don't understand, called learning process ie.,
ds manual chap 5 has this
Timer/Counter Current Values
The DL05, DL06, DL105, DL205, DL350 and
DL405 CPUs use designated V-memory
locations to hold timer and counter current
values. The current value for Timer T0 is
stored in V0. This is not always easy to
remember, so DirectSOFT 5 allows you to
refer to these as either V0 or TA0 (timer
accumulated value for Timer 0). For example,
the accumulator for Counter 3 is in CTA3
which is easier to remember than V1003.
This makes sense and me thinks like you said, copy problems, just checked it out....... skipped a few lines and went to one that looked like the rigt values and it will let me enter the code :::
on line 137 which is CNT CT3 CTA3 just like that and i am thinking this value will be stored in vmem at V1003 for cta4 at V1004
