File: XPLOR.TXT Date: 11/05/1999 The following is a list of the files available for downloading. Some programs are simply text files from the Xplor-52 User's Manual, and others are sample programs written for one or more Xplor-52 models. File Name Size Date Description ------------ ----- -------- ADC_THRM.BAS 2666 03/21/96 This program can be used to read temperature using standard inexpensive thermistors. The system parameters are defined using program variables so they can be easily changed. The program can be used with any of the Xplor-52 controllers with analog inputs. ANALOG.BAS 781 04/22/94 Sample program to read the Analog to Digital Converter on the Xplor-52a or Xplor-52ua. DEGREES.BAS 227 04/11/94 Program to read temperature (in degrees Celcius) using the optional temperature sensor on the Xplor-52a or Xplor-52ua. HUMID.BAS 900 08/02/94 Program to calibrate and read the optional Humidity sensor on the Xplor-52a. IDLE52.A51 3040 11/05/99 This file contains a sample program for using the CPU's IDLE mode. This is a power saving mode of operation similar to the SLEEP mode, but the CPU's internal timers and counters continue to function in the Idle mode. This makes it ideal for using the RTC as a one second (or one minute...) timer while conserving power. The sample programs include an assembly language program with a BASIC CALL example, and a BASIC only version. The BASIC example is slower, so the power savings are not as significant. RTC.BAS 297 08/02/94 Sample program to access the Real Time Clock registers. SBUF.BAS 570 08/02/94 Sample BASIC program interface for using the interrupt driven serial communication utility included in the library file. TB52.NEW 7372 09/28/99 This text file describes the updates and enhancements made to the TB52 interpreter source code from version 1.0 to the current version. TERM.BAS 693 03/21/96 Sample BASIC program interface for using either of the Assembly Language LCD and Keypad programs. VOLTAGE.BAS 310 04/22/94 Program to convert an ADC reading to a 0-5 volt result. WDTE.BAS 2476 11/02/95 This sample BASIC program shows how to use the Watchdog Timer feature of the Programmable Counter Array (PCA). NOTE: The PCA is only available on the Xplor Series PDCs with the FX CPU upgrade installed. The example shows how to set up the timer to reset the controller if the watchdog update routine is not called within 4 seconds.
