10. Your 2100PC Display has many capabilities These capabilities includ ext display cursor control blinking and scrolling as well as a wide variety of advanced functions which are controlled through various command sequences When a sequence of text and commands are collected together to be run as a unit the collection is called a message script When a message is programmed into a PC unit and then later called up frommemory it is termed a canned script The canned script can be requested from the parallel port or through a simple serial command sequence VDP3 Software Overview The VDP3 software provided with the 2100PC display is the easiest way to create scripts for the 2100PC The scripts are then programmed into the 2100PC from the computer via a serial connection To develop message scripts one of three modes may be used For this tutorial we will use only the Quick Edit Mode More information regarding all three modes is found in Section 5 1 of this manual Quick Edit is a powerful user friendly point and clickeditor Point and click selections in various Quick Edit screens automatically generate the appropriate 2100 Scripting Language commands Installing the Software It is assumed that the user has some experience with the operation of Microsoft Windows The VDP3 software is provided on a 342 diskette To install the software run Windows put the program disk in the appropriate drive and run the setup program from that drive
