sample sets the optical interface and 115200 bps.

OPEN “COM1:115200” AS #1

Creating a Source Program Using the XFILE Statement

You may develop a do wnloading or upl oading source pro gram that handles files according

to the PDT 1100-Ir protocol using the XFILE statement . Compile the so urce program into the

user program and download it to the PDT 1100. For details, refer to the

To download data files to the PDT 1100 using +C option specified in the DLL, specify the T

option to the “protocolspec” of the XFILE statement to treat space codes in the tail of a data

field as data. If you have selected the +C option, every record in a data file must be fixed in

not fill characters u sed to fill blanks in record when its actual lengt h is shorter than the

specified length.
