Software Product Description
PRODUCT NAME:

OS/8 INDUSTRIAL BASIC, Version 3

DESCRIPTION:
OS/S Industrial BASIC is an extension and modification of os/s BASIC that supports real-time industrial
data acquisition and control. The extended functions
support analog 1/ 0, digital 1/ 0, and loading and
reading of counters on the PDP-S ICS. Functional
statements permit the scheduling of segments written in BASIC in response to contact interrupts,
counters, console commands or timed operations.
The system supports up to 63 les addresses and
not more than 15 ICS modules of anyone type. All
standard OS/S BASIC functions are available to
OS/S Industrial BASIC, except that the user overlay
and file I/O facilities have been restricted. Like
OS/S BASIC, the system permits file management to
the system resident device, and program chaining.
Industrial BASIC programs can be prepared, compiled, loaded and executed by means of simple keyboard commands. Alternatively, programs can be
prepared under OS/S for subsequent stand-alone
processing under OS/S BATCH. The run-time system permits file management and program chaining,
while 1/ a device independence is maintained
through the OS7S Operating System. OS/S Industrial
BASIC permits convenient interfacing with user-written assembly language functions.
A memory only run-time system can be generated
on the OS/S host system for use in a memory-based
target system. File-oriented operations are excluded
from the target machine run-time system. The transportation medium from host to target system is paper tape, cassette or floppy disk.
