You will find example shortcuts for launching the NT GEOS demo in the GEOS SDK Program Group. You can define additional shortcuts to launch NT GEOS by right-clicking on the root window (NT 4.0) or selecting the menu item File -> New on the Program Manager (NT 3.51). Specify a command such as
c:\pcgeos\target\n9000.nc\swat.exe /s loader.exe
(modified as desired); you must also specify a working directory (under
target\
) corresponding to the simulation you wish this icon to run. For command examples, refer to the batch files described below.
To launch a target device window from the command line, change-directory to your target area (for example,
\pcgeos\target\n9000.ec\
) and type
start s
at the prompt. (
s.bat
is supplied in the target directory templates, and
start
tells NT to run the command in a new window.)
s.bat
is a batch file which executes the Swat stub;
ss.bat
forces the demo to wait for a host Swat debugger to attach. Execute
start s
(or
ss
) in your non-EC directory to run the non-EC version of the Swat stub. To run the non-Swat demo, use
start geos
, which executes
loader{ec}.exe
without the Swat stub.
In summary, each of these demos is available in both the EC and non-EC target directories:
ss.bat Demo with Swat stub, wait for host Swat s.bat Demo with Swat stub, do not wait geos.bat Demo without Swat
Launch the host Swat debugger from an icon in the GEOS SDK Program Group or from the command line with
swat
(or
start swat
). (Be careful not to run a Swat stub if your current directory is a target directory; you want to run
swat.exe
from
pcgeos\bin\
.) Debugging with Swat in the NT environment is the same as that in the old DOS one; use
^
C and
c
to interrupt and continue execution,
att
and
det
to attach and detach, and so forth.
The Swat window size may be increased by modifying the window-size property of your command windows in general or your Swat shortcut in particular. Any change made to a window after Swat is launched will not be recognized.
You can instruct Swat to attach to an external Communicator device or PC emulator by running GEOS
Setup
prior to launching Swat and selecting the serial
Communication Mode
and an appropriate
Comm port
.
You can stop NT GEOS by entering
detach
or
quit
when Swat is attached. Otherwise, you can stop the demo by clicking the kill (X) button on the right of the titlebar, double-clicking the top-left titlebar menu, or using NT's task manager.
If you have a file called . swat in the root of your private directory and run the GEOS Setup program to change the "Swat Init File" field to point to that file, Swat will execute Swat commands in that directory when it starts up. Below is a short example of a .swat file:
srcwin 15 sd hello
The
srcwin
command sets up a source-code window at the bottom of the screen. The
sd
command changes the symbolic default to be the "hello" thread. Any time Swat does not recognize a name in the current thread, it will see if the name has meaning in the hello thread.
