The Lounge What is on Your Mind? Vs basic

We use Indusoft VBScript at work... its basically the code behind script in all the HMIs we produce.

It could be better, but there isn't much you can't do in it that you need to do. It does a few things like bit level addressing, and you can work around limitations in the HMI package by being able to address global HMI variables by string formatting thier names and passing to a function which allows you to pretend that you have nested classes.. even though it doesn't really support that.

For instance Say I have a Control panel class CP as and I want to have Estop values in it... with fault, description and id fields, the work around is that I generate the tag names as strings to referece them in a for loop.... which you would be able to directly do with nested classes, its a much needed organizational structure that is sadly missing.

CP.ESTOP_Desc_1 ... n
CP.ESTOP_ID_1 ... n
CP.ESTOP_Fault_1 ... n

Interestingly they are intending to transition to Javascript... I'm not sure if that is a good thing or a bad thing :/ At least the HMIs will run on Linux potentially going forward currently they are ball and chained to Windows.

kc2img

kc2img(1)						      General Commands Manual							 kc2img(1)

NAME

       kc2img - convert KC files to raw KC tape images

SYNOPSIS

       kc2img <infile> <outfile>

DESCRIPTION

       kc2img  converts the following file types to raw KC tape images. Those files contain the data bytes as written by the KC tape routines with
       block number and checksum removed. So each block is saved as 128 bytes.

       Machine code files start with an 128 byte header (one block) that contains filename, load start address, load end address and optionally  a
       start address whose presence is flagged by a status byte. Basic files only have a 13 byte header with filename and filesize.

       1) files used by the KC emulator by Arne Fitzenreiter (usually named .TAP)

       2) files used by the GEMINI-SOFT KC emulator (usually named .GPF for machine code files and .GBF for basic files)

       3) BASIC files (usually named .SSS)

       4) KC image files that contain the data written by the KC tape routines without block number and checksum (usually named .KCC or .KCB where
       the .KCB files are BASIC files with an autostart routine)

BUGS

       Basic files are not handled properly.
