The BASIC development software provides the user with a structured 

and efficient means to create BASIC programs for the module. This 

software is loaded into a an MS-DOS compatible personal computer. It 

uses the personal computer to facilitate editing, compiling 

(translating), uploading, and downloading of BASIC programs.

• multiple window editing.

• cut and paste support between windows.

• ASCII look-up table.

• line draw editor to create operator interface images without having to enter ASCII characters.

• keystroke macros.

• undo and redo functions.

• extensive help messages for each menu, menu option, and for keywords embedded in the menu text.

• capability to create user-defined macro libraries.

• sophisticated debug tools including watch windows, single-step 

operation, and go to cursor breakpoint operation.

• syntax checked translations to native BASIC to reduce debug time.

• BASIC translator that steps through the BASIC program and identifies errors.
