•Connect JP6 of the TC100 to the serial interface of a PC ( TXD-Pin2, RXD-Pin3, GND-Pin5 of the 9-pin Sub-D Conn.)
•Run a Terminal program ( COM-setting 1200 Baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity, echo off )
•Connect supply voltage to the TC100 ( +8…15VDC at Pin 8, GND at Pin 2 of the Mini DIN Socket )
•Bridge JP8 ( PGM ) briefly
•Menu appears on the screen ( “RAM Mode….”)
•TC100 is now in RAM program mode: Enter instructions line by line. „run“ as a last line will start the program.
Shorting JP8 ( PGM ) briefly will stop the program and switch into program mode
An error message will appear with memory overflow or wrong syntax of instructions
•Short programs can easily be tested that way
•Caution! Program will be lost in RAM Mode after switching off the power supply!

•Enter instruction “burn” ( Menu “BURN Mode…” appears on the screen )
•Starting from now every instruction line will be stored into the non volatile memory ( only correct syntax accepted )
•Terminate by typing „end“ as a last line ( total number of lines will be shown afterwards )
•Program will start either by typing „run“ or after every time switching the TC100 OFF and ON again
3. Uploading the „txt“ file
•Write the instructions line by line using any Text Editor
•Depending on the desired mode use „ram&“ or „burn&“ as first line. In BURN Mode terminate by using instruction
„end“ as a last line
•Use your Terminal software to send the „txt“-file to the TC100 ( total number of lines will be shown afterwards )
•Program will start either by typing „run“ or after every time switching the TC100 OFF and ON again ( BURN Mode )
4. Reading the non volatile memory
