TimeMaster II H.O.
Copyright (C) 1986 by Applied Engineering
Pascal Instructions
The programs that are provided on the disk will
enable Pascal programs to access the TimeMaster II clock
card. All of main programs are already installed in a
standard system library file ready for use. These
programs enable the programmer to retrieve a numerical
representation of all the clock's day and time
information or a pre-formatted string of the current
time and date.
In order to allow the Pascal system to access these
programs the current SYSTEM.LIBRARY file must be
replaced on your system bootup disk. The new
SYSTEM.LIBRARY file contains all of the old Pascal units
plus the TimeMaster II unit. To replase the old
SYSTEM.LIBRARY follow the steps below:
1. Enter the filer and remove the current
SYSTEM.LIBRARY.
2. Transfer the corresponding LIBRARY file on the
TimeMaster II disk to your system bootup disk. Use
LIBRARY1.1 for Pascal 1.1 and LIBRARY1.2 for Pascal 1.2.
3. Change the name of LIBRARY file to
SYSTEM.LIBARY.
4. Exit the filer.
The installation is complete and the TimeMaster II
Pascal routines are now ready to use.
If the SYSTEM.LIBRARY you are currently using has
been changed then the units must be installed into the
current library using the program LIBRARY. You will
need to refer to the Pascal Operating System Manual for
further information on how to do this. Remember to
check the segments used in the TimeMaster II units
against the segments in your current library. If there
is a conflict then the TimeMaster II programs will need
to be changed and recompiled to reside in different
segments than the ones currently being used.
There is an additional program that is provided
that will automatically set the Pascal system date at
bootup time. This ensures that a file will be saved
with current date without the user having use the date
function in the filer. To use this program the
TimeMaster II units will have to be already installed
into the SYSTEM.LIBRARY file. Transfer the file
STARTUP.TEXT to your system bootup disk. Edit the file
to use the correct poke for the system that you are
using. Next compile the file into a code file.
Finally change the name of the code file to
SYSTEM.STARTUP. Then, every time the Pascal system is
booted the system date will be updated.
The source code and an example program are provided
that will demostrate how to use the new TimeMaster II
clock program. If the current format for accessing the
clock does not fit your needs, all of the information
needed to change it has been provided.
