BASS/Comms/TimeOut/?TimeOut

This website contains an archive of files for the Acorn Electron, BBC Micro, Acorn Archimedes, Commodore 16 and Commodore 64 computers, which Dominic Ford has rescued from his private collection of floppy disks and cassettes.

Some of these files were originally commercial releases in the 1980s and 1990s, but they are now widely available online. I assume that copyright over them is no longer being asserted. If you own the copyright and would like files to be removed, please contact me.

(1) The 'TimeOut' module v1.04 : "TimeOut"
(2) The help file              : "HelpTimeOut"
(3) An example BASIC program   : "ExTimeOut"

AIM :
===

'TimeOut' generates after a certain amounth of time an user-defined error.
This can be very handy in programs where you have to leave an infinite loop
after a certain amounth of time or where there is a time limitation in a
subroutine (ex. in serial communication).
You have to setup a local error routine (see the example BASIC file
"ExTimeOut") checking if it is a TimeOut error or not.

How to use it ?
=============

The module 'TimeOut' does only support SWI's.  Some characteristics of the
module are :

Module title          : 'TimeOut'
Module help           : 'Watchdog timer'
SWI chunk base number : &C0080
Error base number     : &30080
SWI group prefix      : 'TimeOut'

Currently defined SWI are :

SWI "TimeOut_Duration",R0 TO R0,R1
----------------------------------

DESC. | Reads/Writes the TimeOut duration in csecs
ENTRY | If R0 = 0 Reads the TimeOut duration
        If R0 <> 0 Writes the TimeOut duration
EXIT  | R0 = Old TimeOut duration
        R1 = Time left till the following TimeOut
COMM. | SWI is re-entrant
MODES | All

This SWI sets the length of time in csecs between 'SWI "TimeOut_Start"' and
the TimeOut error as long as the program didn't issue a 'SWI "TimeOut_Stop"'.
The default TimeOut duration is 100 csecs.

SWI "TimeOut_String",R0
-----------------------

DESC. | Sets the TimeOut error string
ENTRY | R0 = Pointer to the TimeOut error string (max. 252 chars)
EXIT  | -
COMM. | SWI is not re-entrant
MODES | All

Using this SWI you can change the default TimeOut error string ("TimeOut
runs out of time").

SWI "TimeOut_Start"
-------------------

DESC. | Starts the TimeOut count-down
ENTRY | -
EXIT  | -
COMM. | SWI is not re-entrant as it disables IRQ
MODES | All

Before the actually count-down is started the counter is reseted.

SWI "TimeOut_Stop"
------------------

DESC. | Stops the TimeOut count-down
ENTRY | -
EXIT  | -
COMM. | SWI is not re-entrant as it disables IRQ
MODES | All

Using this SWI is the only way to prevent the TimeOut error generation.

How it works ?
============

Well, the counter is made using the TickerV vector.  If the counter reaches
zero the module uses in the TickerV interrupt routine a SWI "OS_AddCallBack"
to add a CallBack routine where the TimeOut error is generated using a SWI
"OS_GenerateError". I have to use the CallBack principle because it seems it
is not possible to generate an error in a interrupt routine.  Mind if you
switch off the interrupts the counter isn't updated, so the TimeOut module
would not work.

Errors :
======

&30080 : User defined, default 'TimeOut' message is "'TimeOut' runs out of time"
&30081 : "Unknown TimeOut SWI operation"
&30082 : "TimeOut error string is too long"

Versions :
========

v0.04 : First public domain version
