Command

Description

Lo

The Loop start command marks the memory location where the portion of a repeatedly executed

command sequence begins.

This command is normally used together with the Loop repetition number command.

The Loop start command is of the delayed execution type and it occupies 2 memory locations.

Lxxx

The Loop repetition number command allows an instruction, a sequence or a whole program to

be repeated for the specified number of times.

The command must be followed by an argument ranging from 1 to 255, that specifies how many

times the portion of the program contained between the Loop start command and the Loop

repetition number has to be executed.

The sequence:

L0

↓

•

•

•

L10

↓

forces the command sequence included between L0 and L10 to be repeated ten times.

This command in normally used togheter with the Loop start command. If the loop starting point is

not specified, the interpreter repeats the sequence starting from the beginning of the program.

The Loop repetition number command is of the delayed execution type and it occupies 2 memory

locations.

M

The Memory save command allows the program currently stored in the RAM memory to be

permanently saved in the EEPROM.

The program can then be reloaded both automatically or under command. In the first case, it is

executed automatically at power on, while in the latter the X command must be issued.

The Memory save command is of the immediate execution type.

P*

The Program enter command sets the GS-C200 in the programming mode and it allows a new

program to be entered in the memory.

The instruction doesn’t require any argument and it causes the cancellation of the program

contained in the RAM memory

The programming session is terminated by the Execute command. The Program enter command

is of the immediate execution type.

Po **

The Program enter command sets the GS-C200S in the programming mode and it allows a new

program to be entered in the memory. The instruction doesn’t require any argument and it causes

the cancellation of the program contained in the RAM memory.

The programming session is terminated either by the program exit or the Execute command.

The Program enter command is of the immediate execution type.

Px **

The Program exit command sets the GS-C200S in the execution mode and it allows the unit to

wait for a command. The instruction doesn’t require any argument. The Program exit command is

of the immediate execution type.

Q

The Query command instructs the GS-C to send to the Host computer the program currently stored

in the RAM memory.

Every program instruction is separated by a carriage return (ASCII 13), and the program end is

evidenced by the transmission of a message ”END” that is the sequence terminator and it must be

recognized by the Host. The instruction does not require any argument. The Query command is of

the immediate execution type.
