In Control

Rich asked:

Hi David; I'm good at complex problems but I have trouble with simple ones! Here's a simple one that's puzzling to me:

How can I move the unknown value in data memory location X (seconds) to SETTIMER in order to countdown the time that an output is on??

Your help is always appreciated.

Best regards,
Rich

Keith asked:

I have recently purchased a MMi202 and am trying to connect the board to my PC. I have checked the following- The MMi202 board has power. The serial cable is straight through (used a multimeter to check pin to pin). Tried to connect to board from 2 separate computers.

After clicking on the connect button of the Module window the display changes to Disc/Run/Stop display for a few seconds and then returns to the connect button display.

Any suggestions on how to proceed. Thanks.

Henry asked:

Hi.

Just a quick question on the MMi202 memory. When I use the PermStore instruction am I saving to flash or eeprom?? I need to know the life cycle of the memory. I read in the knowledge base somewhere that the memory can wear out. Or has the MMi202 got both? I need to write to flash since it has a greater life span then eeprom.

George asked:

I'm currently debugging a sizable program (approx 2500 lines in the editor, lots of comments). I'm setting strategic breakpoints - F9 - so that I can step through bits I'm having problems with. Can I, and if so, how, load the breakpoint character into the Find window (Ctrl+F) so as to remove these breakpoints when I'm done.

Denny wondered:

What is the dialect for my MMi201 controller?

I checked on the hardware, the Help Section, did a search, etc., but I couldn't find it.

George asked:

I'm setting MMi02 up to read 0-5V Pressure Transducers. I gather from SKB that no jumpers are required at all on the analogue input configuration pins for 0-5V Mode. Would you please confirm this?

When programming for 0 - 5V does 10 bit range then refer to 5V equ 1.0 or do I still have to base the maths based on 10V equ 1.0? It's not clear to me from SKB.
