Yes, I’m aware of Chipp’s version, though I have not tried it. I think I saw some posts on that board
that referred to the later HW 2.72 and 8MB devices, so it may support them, and if it does would also
support V2.81 as I suspect he has kept his code to the documented area, but that’s just a guess.
If you use the Chrome browser, it can be set to translate the Russian pages while browsing the forum…
The MAP mode in my version is basically the same as his video mode as far as I can tell.
I just compiled a speed optimized version for testing, and it gives an overall gain of at least 15%
increase in frame rate for all functions, while a few others gain as much as 25% and some generator
sweep functions as much as 75% at the fastest frequencies/sweep rates. This takes 5 “slots”.
I plan to split this up to 3 slots in the main section, and the remaining 2 some 48KB past the start
of the undocumented area, leaving this space (up to 48KB) for other programs. This should allow a
second program to reside in the 4th slot, and should be compatible with PAWN, which I believe stores
code at the beginning of the undocumented section, as well as does Alterbios for the earlier devices.
With only some 50 or 60KB going past this 48KB point, this should keep well away from the FPGA
section of the V2.81 devices, will need to check all this out.
I also need to implement a chart recorder function for some ovens that need to have their temp
monitored over time, so as time permits will likely be adding this in the future…
