Apex Programmer�s ToolKit - The right tools for the right job
The Apex II Programmer�s ToolKit is a collection
of utilities that provide the programmer the ability to accurately,
quickly and easily develop stable, predictable applications programs
for the Apex II.
The ToolKit is organized into four distinct subject
areas. To organize these subject areas on one diskette, each subject
is placed in its own Folder. The individual files contained in each
"folder" are described as follows:
APEXAPI FOLDER: This folder contains files
and code used to program the Apex II unit.
- The file named "APEX.API" is a file containing program modules
written in Apex Basic. A user can easily create a program to
run in the Apex II by calling each API module of code from the
user�s program. The file "APEXAPI.DOC" explains in detail
each API call as well as the additional information to be supplied
by the user.
-
-
The file named "APEXLINE.API" is a file
containing the same information as the Apex.API file with the
addition of line numbers.
-
APEXPROG - "APEXPROG.EXE" is a command
line utility program used to Load and Delete program files on
the Apex II. Other options include Setting date and time, saving
the program in memory, Running the program, Adding line numbers
to the program and Stripping program comments.
-
The "L.BAT" file is a batch program used
to append the Apex.API file to the users code.
-
The file named "APITEST.APX" is a sample
program using the API functions. This program does not contain
line numbers.
-
The file named "APITESTL.APX" is a sample
program using the API functions. This program contains line
numbers.
LINKMST FOLDER: This folder contains the windows
program and source code used to communicate with the Apex II unit.
- LINK MASTER FOR WINDOWS or "WINLINK.EXE" is
a utility program that provides the user an easy and convenient
way to communicate with the Apex II. LINK MASTER FOR WINDOWS
provides the Apex II user a wide range of helpful, easy-to-use
utilities in a familiar Windows-based environment.
MODEM FOLDER: This folder contains information
related to modem communications.
- The file named "APEXMDM.APX" is a sample program containing
modem communications.
VBAPI FOLDER: This directory contains a Visual
Basic module of code used to communicate with the Apex II unit.
- The file named "APEX.BAS" is a module written for visual
basic 3.0 and higher. The user can add the basic module to a
VB program and call pre-written routines to easily communicate
to the Apex II. Modules included are upload routines, download
routines, a file conversion routine, a routine to print to the
Apex II screen and much more. Also included is a file named
"STRUCT.TXT". This file is used by the conversion routine
to allow the user to specify field names, sizes and types.
