19 #$ KKK 4.1. Project File The Project Files are binary files with.prj extensions that save the Project Data of the Pattern Data edited by Ped/Win. The Project Files store the Pattern Data, sheet data, type data, options and other data for the operating environment. When editing Pattern Data using Ped/Win, use the Project File. The project file of many character s kind handles only the character kind of the chosen code range. When wanted to edit all pattern data, create a project file in every chosen code range. $ File Handled by Ped/Win, Project File 9

20 #$ KKK 4.2 Pattern File The Pattern Files are text files with.hex extensions for use in storing patterns to the ROM. Pattern Files store Pattern Data using the format specified by each type. The Pattern Files are called the Motorola S Format and are in hexadecimal format. And, the some OSDC types are able to create a special pattern file, and read a bitmap file. See Appendix A. The project of many character s kind outputs only the pattern data of the chosen code range. When wanted to create the pattern file with all pattern data, use the function to merge some pattern data of the chosen code range into perfect pattern file. $ File Handled by Ped/Win, Pattern File 10

21 #$ KKK 4.3 Color Palette File The Color Palette Files are text files with.pal extensions for use in describing color information of maximum 16 colors. Use the Color Palette Files to exchange a color data between the different OSDC types, and between the different projects. The OSDC type name, the number of color and each color values are stored in the Color Palette File. The contents of the Color Palette File are as the following. [General] Name Num [Palette] Color00~Color15 This section stores the OSDC type information. This entry stores the OSDC type name. ex. Name=MB90098 (If MB90098 type) This entry stores the number of color. ex. Num=16 (If the number is 16) This section stores the color information This entry stores the color values of each palette's number. The color value is in the RGB value of decimal format. ex. Color00= (If the color is blue) Color00=255 (If the color is red) $ File Handled by Ped/Win, Color Palette File 11

22 #$ KKK 4.4 OSDC Type File The OSDC Type Files are text files with.typ extensions for listing each type of the individual data of the OSDC. The OSDC Type Files are stored in the Types directory below the installation destination directory. The OSDC Type File stores each type of data such as the type name, type driver name, pattern size and each of the default values. $ File Handled by Ped/Win, OSDC Type File 12

23 #$ KKK 4.5 OSDC Type Driver The OSDC Driver is the DLL format file (Dynamic Link Library) listing process dependant on the OSDC Type. Normally, the OSDC Type driver is stored in the types directory below the installation destination directory and is registered in the OSDC Types File. The following DLL are provided in the current version. OSDC 12RAM.dll OSDC 24RAM.dll OSDCM201.dll OSDC 24I.dll OSDC 12.dll OSDC 24.dll Driver for the new 12-dot OSDC (For Font RAM).

25 #$ KKK 5.1 Projects Projects are single units of work and are comprised of mainly 1 type data, 1 Pattern Data, multiple sheets and pattern character attributes. The project of many character s kind handles only the pattern data of the chosen code range when you create a new project. Ped/Win can open 1 Project at a time. When editing patterns, it manages each of the above data in a format called a Project. Projects can be stored as Project Files. Projects are managed by Project File names. When you want to open a Project, you can specify the Project by its Project File name. When using mask release, use this Project File. $ Data Handled by Ped/Win, Projects 15

26 #$ K K K 5.2 Pattern Data Pattern Data means, literally, the data of the pattern that is going to be edited. Pattern Data are composed of multiple codes and 1 code is composed of m n dots. Also, normally, 1 dot is composed of 1 bit (or plural bits in the case of graphic characters). Usually, the code range defined in the OSDC Type File is included in the Pattern Data of 1 Project. The project of many character s kind includes only the pattern data of the chosen code range. These are output as pattern files when storing their pattern data in the ROM. Plural pattern file outputted by the chosen code range combines each division pattern file into the pattern file which has all pattern data by merge function. There is OSDC type that can be read and write separately for Font ROM/RAM. $ Data Handled by Ped/Win, Pattern Data 16

27 #$ KKK 5.3 Sheets Sheets are the units for pattern display and editing. 1 or a multiple of pattern codes can specify the format in 1 sheet, so it is possible to display and edit when actually using them. Normally, 1 Project can be composed of a multiple of sheets and each sheet can be a combination of formats and characters. Sheets do not include Pattern Data as they are. Sheets are only composed of the data that indicates which data is to be edited and in what format. Therefore, you can specify the same pattern code using a multiple of sheets. You can set the sheets in the List Sheet dialog box. [To List Sheet] $ Data Handled by Ped/Win, Sheets 17

28 #$ KKK 5.4 Character Attributes Character attributes are the data that define what format was used to create each pattern code and what format is to be used to display and edit them. Character attributes include Basic Character Attributes and Display Character Attributes. 18

29 # $KKKK 5.5 Basic Character Attributes Basic Character Attributes are the assignment of the Pattern Data to each code. Mainly, it is data that defines what was the objective for the creation of that character. Basic Character Attributes have the following setting items.

36 #$ KKK 6.2 New Projects A sheet is automatically created for all pattern codes when you create a new Project using the [New Project] dialog box. Pattern codes are automatically assigned to the sheets based on the default sheet ([Type Data] dialog box [Sheet Button]) set by the Type Data. For example, if the default sheet is composed of 6 characters 3 characters, pattern codes are assigned in groups of 18 characters starting from the lower ones. The last remaining code of the sheet that did not have 18 characters is assigned a lower code number. When created the project of many character s kind, choose the code range that is handled in the [Code Range Choice] dialog box after the [New Project] dialog box executed. You can assign unit names to each sheet, but the assigned code range is in the unit name of the sheet that is automatically created. 26

37 #$KKK 6.3 Initial Screen When Creating A New Project The following screen is opened when you execute [New Project]. 27

38 #$ KKKK 6.4 List Sheet The combination of patterns, their display types, and the sheet for setting their attributes are displayed in the Project that is opened.

The Basic Character Attributes are set for each Pattern Data. The Basic Character Attributes are set by the [Basic Character Attributes Set] dialog box. You can startup the [Basic Character Attributes Set] dialog box from the Display Window or the List Window. Set the Basic Character Attributes with the Display Window. Set the Basic Character Attributes with the List Window. [Set] Menu. 30

41 #$ KKK 6.7 Read Pattern Data from the Pattern File This reads-out pattern files as the current Project. Read-out of the Pattern File is performed using the following procedures. 1. Select [File] - [Read Pattern File] to startup the [Read Pattern File] dialog box. 2. Select the pattern file you want to read. (#1)(#2)(#3) 3. Press the [Open] button. (#1) About the OSDC Types for the ROM/RAM Select either the ROM mode or the RAM mode in the [Memory Mode] dialog box before the [Read Font Data (ROM/RAM)] dialog box startup. After that, select each pattern file of the ROM or the RAM in the [Read Font Data (ROM/RAM)] dialog box. When a RAM pattern file is read, if a file name is written with the specification form of the RAM range, a present RAM range is updated. And if a file name isn't written with the specification form, a present RAM range is made the target. When it is written, a RAM range is updated at the time of reading, and a pattern file is read. At this time, when there is a code of outside of the RAM range, the confirmation message is displayed. The other side, when it isn't written, a code inside the present RAM range is read from the pattern file. But, the pattern file isn't read when it is short of the number of codes inside the RAM range. The user ROM number of the chip and the RAM code range are written in the specification form of the RAM file name. [nnn-xxx]-ramyyy-zzz nnn This is the OSDC type name of English and the number. ex. OSDCM RAM000-1FF xxx This is the use ROM number. yyy This is the start number in the RAM code range. zzz This is the end number in the RAM code range. (#2) About the special format file Some OSDC types handle the special format pattern file. A corresponding OSDC type name and a file format are written in the following. OSDCM101 OSDCM20x MB91319 Source format file (For RAM of hexadecimal format) Source format file (For RAM of hexadecimal format) Source format file (For RAM of hexadecimal format) 31

42 MB90050 MB90091A OSDCM20x Source format file (For RAM of hexadecimal format) FJ-Mask format file Special hexadecimal format file (For ROM) When reading out Pattern Files, you can read the old version Pattern Data. You will need the OSDC Type Driver (.dll) and the OSDC Type File (.typ). Only the pattern of the code range of the Project currently open can be read out when you are reading different type Pattern Data. (#3) About the OSDC type of many character s kind If the pattern file includes all pattern data, only the pattern data of the chosen code range are read when you create a new project. And, when the pattern file that was outputted by different project of the chosen code range, choose whether you read the pattern data by the confirmation message into the code range of the present project. 32

Select [File] - [Write Pattern File] to startup the [Write Pattern File] dialog box. 2. Select the pattern file you want to save. (#1)(#2)(#3) 3. Press the [Save] button points address and data for confirmation are displayed on the [Pattern File Information] dialog box that started. The middle data alone is able to display again by pushing the [Reset] button after the optional middle address, which you want to display, is set. But, this function isn't applied except for the S format file and a part of the OSDC type. (MB90092, RAM pattern file, etc.) (#1) About the OSDC Types for the ROM/RAM Select either the ROM mode or the RAM mode in the [Memory Mode] dialog box before the [Write Font Data (ROM/RAM)] dialog box startup. After that, input the pattern file name of the ROM or the RAM in the [Write Font Data (ROM/RAM)] dialog box. A normally S format file is outputted in the case of the ROM mode. The other side, a source format file is outputted in the case of the RAM mode. (The code form of microcomputer software, etc.) (#2) About the special format file Some OSDC types handle the special format pattern file. A corresponding OSDC type name and a file format are written in the following. OSDCM101 OSDCM20x MB91319 MB90050 MB90091A OSDCM20x Source format file (For RAM of hexadecimal format) Source format file (For RAM of hexadecimal format) Source format file (For RAM of hexadecimal format) Source format file (For RAM of hexadecimal format) FJ-Mask format file Special hexadecimal format file (For ROM) The Project is saved using the format of the Project that is currently opened when you are saving to Pattern Files. (#3) About the OSDC type of many character s kind Only the pattern data of the chosen code range are written when you create a new project. If you want to create the pattern file, which includes all pattern data, use the merge function which combines plural division pattern file outputted by a chosen code range with the perfect 33

49 #$KKKKK 6.13 Read Pattern Data from the Bitmap File The bitmap file is read as a pattern file. You can specify the reading start coordinate position of the bitmap, the number of reading characters, graphic character conversion and normal character conversion. After reading, the characters are set specified characters(graphic or normal). And so the bitmap and the characters are the same one pixel or dot. Read colors of graphic character are the palette-color-numbers which approximates the RGB value of the bitmap. And, there are 8 colors and 16 colors in the number of palette by the OSDC type. The dot configuration of the graphic characters is different in the OSDC type. The read configuration is each forms of "1Character 1Line" to "32Character 16Lines". Moreover, you can specify the write code position, and can create the result output file. The following procedures read the converted pattern from bitmap. 1. Select [File] - [Read Bitmap Pattern File] to startup the [Read Bitmap Pattern File] dialog box. 2. Select the bitmap file. Specify the result output file if you are necessary. 3.

Moreover, specify a dot decision level. 4. Select reading start coordinate position of the bitmap, number of reading characters, write code position, and read configuration form. 5. The patterns are read by pushing the [Open] button. Ex. In graphic character and the case of MB90092: The palette color number (by 3 bits), which approximates the RGB value are set in the graphic character dot. Reading image size is 128x256 pixels when the bitmap size is read with "16Character 8Lines", because one character is 8x32 pixels. 1 pixel of graphic character Convert (to palette color number) Bitmap (8x32 pixels) Character (24x32 dots) #The graphic character of MB90096, MB90098, and MB90050 is 2x2 dots around 1 pixel. They use the 4 bits of the character width dot in turn. #The graphic character of MB9131x, and OSDCM20x is 1x1 dots around 1 pixel. They use the 4 bits of the character width dot in turn. 39

[Mid Address] This specifies optional address. The available range that you specify is different by the OSDC types. [Top, Mid, and End Data] This specifies the 3 points data to compare the pattern data. [OK] button This compares the pattern data and the specified 3 points data. If data correspond, the function is continued. But if data not correspond, the function is stopped. [Cancel] button This stops the function. 120

131 #$K K KK 9.15 [Pattern File Information] Dialog Box (Special Tool) You can confirm 3 points address and data with the [Pattern File Information] dialog box from the converted FJ-Mask file and the pattern-file before the convert. [Mid Adr] This specifies optional address. The available range that you specify is different by the OSDC types. [Reset] button This displays 3 points address and data from each file based on the specified Mid Adr. After the FJ-Mask file was outputted, the set middle address is used. [Cancel] button This closes the [Pattern File Information] dialog box. 121

132 #$K K KK 9.16 [Pattern File Information] Dialog Box You can confirm 3 points address and data with the [Pattern File Information] dialog box from the outputted pattern-file. [Mid Adr] This specifies optional address. The available range that you specify is different by the OSDC types. [Reset] button This displays 3 points address and data from each file based on the specified Mid Adr. [Cancel] button This closes the [Pattern File Information] dialog box. 122

133 #$K K KK 9.17 [Read Bitmap Pattern File] Dialog Box You can read the bitmap file as a pattern data. This function can be used except the MB90089 and OSDCM101. [Conversion] - [Character] This selects from graphic and normal to convert the character. [Conversion] - [Mode] 123

134 If character is normal, this selects the mode of the dot decision from white base and black base. If it is white base mode, a black character is detected on a white base. If it is black base mode, a white character is detected on a black base. [Conversion] - [Level] If character is normal, this specifies the level of the dot decision. How to decide it is as the following. - White base mode Dot ON Either of the RGB value, under the decision level. Dot OFF The all RGB value, beyond the decision level. - Black base mode Dot ON Either of the RGB value, beyond the decision level. Dot OFF The all RGB value, under the decision level. [Bitmap] - [Position X] This specifies the X coordinate position to read the bitmap file. [Bitmap] - [Position Y] This specifies the Y coordinate position to read the bitmap file. [Bitmap] - [Number] This specifies the number of characters to read the bitmap file. [Code] - [Writing position] This specifies the starting position to write the pattern data. [Code] - [Form] check box This selects the read form. The pattern data of each form are read in the way that 1 pixel of the bitmap corresponds to 1 pixel or dot of the pattern. If you select the [16character 8Lines], the pattern data is read as a character for 16 characters from bitmap file. [Result output] This specifies the text file to write the result information, which includes coordinate position of each character. Save file is specified by the [Save] button. This can display the result text file after this reads pattern data. Therefore, an application must be registered to open the text file. 124

135 #$K K KK 9.18 [Code Range Choice] Dialog Box You can choose the code range for plural character kinds with the [Code Range Choice] dialog box. [Code Range List] This specifies the code range to use the project from all character kinds selected. [OK] button This enables your settings and closes the [Code Range Choice] dialog box. 125

136 #$K K KK 9.19 [Merge of a Pattern File] Dialog Box You can merge plural pattern-file that was outputted by selected code range projects to the complete pattern-file with the [Merge of a Pattern File] dialog box. [Code Range] This selects the code range to output the pattern data. When you merge the pattern, this outputs the pattern-data from the head of the division pattern-file [File Name] into the selected code range. On the one hand, if you select the pattern file, which doesn't arrive at the code range, this outputs 0 data to the space. [File Name] This specifies the division pattern file to merge the pattern data. Select the pattern file name into selected code range from file list. If a pattern file isn't selected, this outputs 0 data to the code range. 126
