DEF command
1. The DEF command edits the simulator's definition for the gate.
What happens when you type DEF depends entirely on what simtype
you have given to the gate. Also, for simtypes 16 and above, the
relevant simulator must have been loaded into the computer already
via a "perm" or "use" command.
2. For simtype 0, the gate has no simulation behavior and its DEF
command does nothing.
3. For simtype 1, the DEF command displays the signal name current
programmed into the gate, then gives you the option to change this
name if you wish. If you leave the name blank, the gate will not
connect to any signal by default; presumably, you have set the
NAMED flag so that a signal name can be entered at run time.
4. For simtype 7, the DEF command displays and allows you to change
the name of the Pascal procedure responsible for the gate. This
must be of the form, "modulename_procedurename". The writing of
Pascal coded gates is beyond the scope of this manual; refer to
Dave Gillespie's Master thesis, or examine the LOG sources for
examples.
5. For simtype 16, you enter a simple text editor. Use the up arrow
and down arrow keys to move, press and
to delete or insert lines. Editing functions currently not implemented
implemented are RECALL, to restore a deleted line, and left arrow
and right arrow to edit a line. Indentation and formatting
is handled automatically. If LOGED detects a syntax error in your
line, it converts it into a comment. However, note that some
syntax errors are not caught but will produce code that may cause
the simulator to crash or behave strangely. For a description of
the LOG digital gate language, see below. Press Control-C
or Control-D to exit.
6. For simtype 32, you are prompted for the name of a Pascal procedure
which takes responsibility for the gate, in much the same way as
for simtype 7.
