SUMMARY

It is possible to use either a dumb terminal or another computer (PC or Macintosh, running a communications package at 9600 baud) as a debugging terminal for CodeView. To take advantage of this option, do the following:
  1. Connect the second terminal to the communications port (COM1 or COM2).
  2. Initialize the communications package to set up the second computer as a dumb terminal. Set the baud rate at 9600.
  3. Start CodeView.
  4. From the CodeView command window redirect the output to the second terminal with one of the following dialog commands:

    > COM1

    or

    > COM2

    This causes CodeView to display the command window output on the second terminal. You can also redirect the input to the CodeView command window to come from the terminal with one of the following commands:

    < COM1

    or

    < COM2

    This causes CodeView to read the input from the second terminal.
  5. Set your options and run the program.
  6. To reset the CodeView command window output to the local machine use the following dialog command:

    > CON

    To reset the CodeView command window input to the local machine use the following command:

    < CON

MORE INFORMATION

Note that this is not the same functionality as remote debugging. Remote debugging allows CodeView to run on a machine other than the local machine which runs the program being debugged. CodeView versions 4.0 and 4.01 support remote debugging. For more information on remote debugging, please refer to the documentation CodeView version 4.0.
