Create a new class ECM8 object.
This object is a software construct that must be associated with a physical ECM8 before it is useful.
Similar to class PSTAT objects, an ECM8 object does not need to be associated with specific ECM8 hardware when ECM8.New() is called. If a system contains more than one ECM8, the user can select among the available multiplexers in the Setup() function's dialog box.
The associated ECM8 is identified by a ECM8No variable.
ECM8.New(Tag, ECM8No, Prompt)
Tag |
STRING |
Used in Save/Restore, File Output to identify and label the ECM8 object. |
ECM8No |
INDEX |
Indicates which physical ECM8 is associated with the ECM8 object. Range is 1 to 4. |
NIL |
Indicates no ECM8 associated yet. The ECM8 is selected in Setup(). |
|
Prompt |
STRING |
Used in Setup() to identify the ECM8 selection line. |
