Instruction and adjustments to the data communication on the Sharp:
 

COM$	Supplies a stringer with the adjusted values, which were agreed upon over SETCOM.
COMn ON/OFF/STOP	Permitted or forbid INTERRUPTS, which are requested over the INTERFACE.  INIT determines the size of the receive buffer.
INSTAT	Supplies the values of the control signals.
ON $COcMn GOSUB	Branched out to an INTERRUPT routine, if  on the voice grade channel an appropriate  Request lies close.
OUTSTAT	The levels of the control signals put direct  " high " or " low ".
PCONSOLE	Defines the line length and the EOL code.
PHONE ON/OFF/STOP	Permitted or forbid INTERRUPTS, which are requested by the voice grade channel.
PZONE	The pressure zone for outputs with that sets  LPRINT instruction.
RCVSTAT	The receipt log as well as the control room sets  time (timeout).
SETCOM	Specify the RS-232C-Interface for one  Input or output.
SNDBRK	Interruption codes transmit, around the data  to stop transfer.
SNDSTAT	The transmission log and the waiting period sets (timeout).

Direct adjustments to the serial data communication by RS-232c (COM1: in the RUN mode Xon/Xoff log:

The PC-1600 should with data communication a buffer in the RAM be reseved.

INIT " COM1:", 4096 (Enter key press).

With the number 4096 from the workspace 4096 bytes are taken off. Also every different one can worth from 1 to the Hole RAM-1 be input. The value proves in practice as better.

SETCOM " COM1:", 9600, 8, N, 1, X, N (Enter key press ).

Instead of the Baud number of 9600 can be input also still with good connection (shielded orginales data communication cable) 19200 or 38400.

The terminal program at the PC must possess the same adjustments:

Baud rate:	9600 (or more highly depending upon cable)
Parity:	none
Data bit:	8
Stop element:	1
Handshake:	Xon/Xoff

PCONSOLE " COM1:", 255, 2 (Enter key press ).

The number of 2 gives those the type of the line end to 0=CR (&0D) to 1=LF (&0A), 2=CR+LF (&0d+&0a).

The terminal program at the PC must possess the same adjustments:

Lines end with:	CR+LF
Delay per character 1/60	2
Delay per line 1/60	0

With the instruction

LOAD " COM1: " (Enter key press).

the basic program is then loaded into the workspace and can be started then with RUN. Alternatively can also also

COPY " COM1: " TO of " S2:name.BAS "

or

SAVE "COM1:",A

the program, in this case on Ramdisk2, or S1 or X to be copied directly.
