Command Line
The 10LC compiler executable contains the all of the functionality of the compiler itself as well as its other utility features. The feature/operation selected is done via command line parameters.
There are four modes that the executable can operate in:
- Compiler mode
- Serial Transfer Mode (Transmit)
- Serial Transfer Mode (Receive)
- Signature Calculation
Selection of a particular mode of operation is done via the first command line parameter passed to the executable. If you launch the executable with no command line parameters, it will show the supported parameters:
ERROR(S): No verb selected. Signature Calculate signatures for files Compile Compile a 10LC file Transmit Transmit a compiled file (hexfile) to a connected 9010A Receive Receive data from a connected 9010A help Display more information on a specific command. version Display version information.
More information on supported modes (“verbs”) can be shown by running the executable with the help verb followed by one of the supported verbs. For example, launching the executable with the help compile command line parameters will show the following:
-v, --Verbosity (Default: Warning) Compiler verbosity (message level) -n, --NoColor (Default: false) No color - do not colorize console output -o, --Options (Default: None) Compiler options -f, --File Required. 10LC files to compile --help Display this help screen. --version Display version information.
Compile Mode
Compile mode is specified by passing “compile” as the first command line parameter. After that, the following switches are supported:
| Short Form | Long Form | Description |
|---|---|---|
-V | --Verbosity | Sets the verbosity of the compiler. Supported verbosity values are Debug, Verbose, Info, Warning, and Error. The default verbosity setting is Warning. |
-N | --NoColor | Disables the coloring of console output. By default, console output is colored according to the severity of the output (i.e. errors in red, warnings in yellow, etc.) |
-O | --Options | Sets one or more compiler options. Supported options are listed below. |
-F | --File | Indicates the files (one or more) that are to be compiled |
Compiler Options:
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| WarningsAreErrors | Treats all warnings as errors and stops compilation when the first warning is emitted |
| NoPreDefines | Does not define the legacy Aliases for registers (BITMASK, ROMSIG, etc.) |
| IgnoreMissingPrograms | Normally, if a file references a problem that is not found at the end of compilation, an error is emitted. This option causes that situation to be ignored. |
| UseNumericProgramNames | By default, all Program names are treated as symbolic identifiers. This causes numeric Program names to be converted to numeric program numbers and not be auto-numbered. |
| DisableOptimizations | This option disables all optimizations |
| EnableIntrinsicCommands | This option enables the new intrinsic statements supported by 10LC. When this option is enabled, program 99 is reserved and used for the implementation of intrinsic statements. |
| DebugStep | This option causes generation of a special program (program 98) and inserts calls to this program between lines of code. The program shows the program line number and waits for you to press <Enter/Yes> or <Clear/No> and stores the result in Register E. Better to use Compiler Directives for this option so it can be turned on and off selectively. |
For example, to compile a 10C file at C:\TenLCStuff\Script.s with no options and verbosity set to Verbose:
Fluke10LCCompiler Compile -vVerbose -o None --file C:\TenLCStuff\Script.s
Transmit Mode
Serial Transmit mode is specified by passing “transmit” as the first command line parameter. After that, the following switches are supported:
| Short Form | Long Form | Description |
|---|---|---|
-V | --Verbosity | Sets the verbosity of the compiler. Supported verbosity values are Debug, Verbose, Info, Warning, and Error. The default verbosity setting is Warning. |
-P | --Port | Specifies the name of the serial port to use (e.g. COM1, COM2, etc.) |
-B | --Baud | Sets the baud rate to use (max should be 9600) |
-S | --Settings | Specifies advanced COM port settings (described below) |
-F | --File | Indicates the file that should be sent |
Advanced Settings are a 3 character string used to configure the parity, data bits and stop bits for the serial port. Normally, these settings will not have to be changed, but you never know. The first character configures the Parity, the second configures the number of Data Bits, and the last configures the number of Stop Bits.
The following values are supported for Parity:
- N - None
- E - Even
- O - Odd
- M - Mark
- S - Space
The number of allowed Data Bits are 5, 6, 7 and 8.
The following values are supported for Stop Bits:
- N - None
- 1 - One
- 2 - Two
- 1.5 - 1.5
The default value for this setting is N81: No Parity, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit.
For example, to transmit a compiled MREC file located at C:\TenLCStuff\Script.mrec using serial port COM3, baud rate of 9600, using the default serial configuration of N81:
Fluke10LCCompiler Transmit --port COM3 -b9600 -f C:\TenLCStuff\Script.mrec
A small reminder that when connecting the 9010A to your PC, you will also need a null modem adapter or cable. I am personally using a DTech 10' USB 2.0 to RS232 DB9 Serial Port Adapter Cable which uses an FTDI chipset, so I would guess that any other adapter that also uses an FTDI chipset would work as well. Be sure to get that null modem adapter/cable, too.
Receive Mode
Serial Transmit mode is specified by passing “transmit” as the first command line parameter. After that, the following switches are supported:
| Short Form | Long Form | Description |
|---|---|---|
-V | --Verbosity | Sets the verbosity of the compiler. Supported verbosity values are Debug, Verbose, Info, Warning, and Error. The default verbosity setting is Warning. |
-P | --Port | Specifies the name of the serial port to use (e.g. COM1, COM2, etc.) |
-B | --Baud | Sets the baud rate to use (max should be 9600) |
-S | --Settings | Specifies advanced COM port settings (described below) |
-F | --File | Indicates the file that should be sent |
For example, to transmit a compiled MREC file located at C:\TenLCStuff\Script.mrec using serial port COM3, baud rate of 9600, using the default serial configuration of N81:
Fluke10LCCompiler Transmit --port COM3 -b9600 -f C:\TenLCStuff\Script.mrec
Signature Calculation Mode
Serial Transmit mode is specified by passing “transmit” as the first command line parameter. After that, the following switches are supported:
| Short Form | Long Form | Description |
|---|---|---|
-V | --Verbosity | Sets the verbosity of the compiler. Supported verbosity values are Debug, Verbose, Info, Warning, and Error. The default verbosity setting is Warning. |
-P | --Port | Specifies the name of the serial port to use (e.g. COM1, COM2, etc.) |
-B | --Baud | Sets the baud rate to use (max should be 9600) |
-S | --Settings | Specifies advanced COM port settings (described below) |
-F | --File | Indicates the file that should be sent |
For example, to transmit a compiled MREC file located at C:\TenLCStuff\Script.mrec using serial port COM3, baud rate of 9600, using the default serial configuration of N81:
Fluke10LCCompiler Transmit --port COM3 -b9600 -f C:\TenLCStuff\Script.mrec
