This is Version 1.4. New features over 1.3:
- Ability to control the ButtonBeeps without resetting them from the PC
- 'Return to time mode' tone
2. Usage Instructions
There are four functions in Numpad:
NUMPAD: A simple wristapp that allows the recording "on the fly"
of three numbers, of 12 digits each.
Keys:
MODE: Exit and advance to next Numpad
NEXT: Increment Digit
PREV: Decrement Digit
SET : Cursor Advance
GLOW: Cursor Back (Indiglo is disabled in this mode, but Night mode works)
Note: The numbers are lost every time the WristApp is uploaded.
CHRONO: A Simple Stopwatch. In addition to the usual functions,
there is a Countdown timer that will beep every N minutes, if it is set.
Keys:
MODE: Switch to Numpad
NEXT: Start/Stop Chronometer
PREV: Enter/Leave Split mode.
If pressed while chronometer is stopped, reset to 0
If pressed while chronometer is set to 0, reset the Countdown Timer
If pressed while Timer is reset, toggle Chronometer Alarm and ButtonBeeps ON/OFF
SET : Reset chronometer to 0, and continue in same mode
If pressed while chronometer is set to 0, advance the Countdown value by 1
(Keep pressed to advance quickly)
GLOW: Indiglo is enabled in this mode
WEEKLY: This is an invisible function, which affects the way the alarms are handled by
the watch.
Each alarm has an 8-character text field associated with it. Weekly uses the
last (8th) character in that field to automatically set the alarms ON and OFF,
allowing for a weekly schedule.
To use WEEKLY, set your alarms to DAILY, and set the last digit of the alarm text
to one of the following values:
0 - Ring on Weekdays only
1 - Ring on Mondays only
2 - Tuesdays
.
.
7 - Sundays
8 - Weekends
9 - Do not adjust
Any non-numeric values in the field have the same result as 9.
Alarms are adjusted using the current timezone (1 or 2).
When setting alarms ON or OFF manually, please note: If the 8th digit in the
TEXT field is 0 through 8, your setting will be reset as soon as you return to
TIME mode. This is not a bug, but the way the program functions.
CORRECTBEEP:
There is a bug in the Timex ROM. The manual for the watch reads:
<<ALARM MODE - PRESS PREVIOUS (to) Cycle thru Alarm and Hourly Chime arm/disarm.>>
But this is not what happens. When arming/disarming the hourly Chime, the Button
Beeps are also armed/disarmed regardless of the user's setting in the upload program.
The CorrectBeep code fixes this, and causes the watch to behave as described in the
documentation. (The ButtonBeeps will not be corrected until the watch returns
to TIME mode).
The user can control the ButtonBeeps using the Previous button in the 'Chrono' mode
(see above). When the ButtonBeeps are set, the tone symbol is displayed in Chrono mode.
3. Program Versions
In response to various requests, there are 4 versions of the software available:
NUMPAD-A.ZAP - The standard application. When the watch returns to TIME mode, it will
always beep (regardless of the ButtonBeeps setting).
NUMPAD-B.ZAP - The standard application. When the watch returns to TIME mode, it will
beep only if ButtonBeeps are set ON.
NUMPAD-C.ZAP - A new feature has been added: Chime Control. The hourly Chime will be
turned OFF from 8pm through 8am, and ON for the rest of the day. Currently
the only way to change the ON/OFF hours is to alter and recompile the
provided source code. Use the Alarm screen to control ButtonBeeps.
Requested by a Datalink user, who likes the chime, but whose wife does not!
NUMPAD-D.ZAP - As above, but with the WEEKLY function disabled for those who do
not need it. The ButtonBeep control functions are present
4. Installation.
4a) Users of Datalink software 2.1D and later:
a) Copy the .ZAP files provided in this extract into the APP subdirectory of your Timex
directory.
d) Restart TimexDL and select the wristapp you wish to upload.
4b) Users of Datalink software 2.1C and earlier:
a) In your Timex Software Directory, locate the file TIMEXDL.DAT, and edit it
b) Look for the [WristApps] Section. Increment the WristAppTotal count, and add
new lines for Numpad below. This is an example of what the section may look like
after you are done:
[WristApps]
WristAppTotal=9
SelectedWristApp=7
WristAppSendOption=True
WristApp000=CHRONO12.ZAP
WristApp001=WKSUSA11.ZAP
WristApp002=WKSISO11.ZAP
WristApp003=TIMER13.ZAP
WristApp004=QUICK13.ZAP
WristApp005=NOTE13.ZAP
WristApp006=MELODY17.ZAP
WristApp007=NUMPAD-A.zap
WristApp008=NUMPAD-D.zap
c) Copy the .ZAP files provided in this extract into the APP subdirectory of your Timex
directory.
d) Restart TimexDL and select the wristapp you wish to upload.
5. Known Bugs.
5a) If you set an Alarm for 0:00 (midnight), the Weekly feature will treat it as if though
it was set for the night before. So, 0:00 Tuesday morning, is really treated as
24:00 Monday night.
5b) When you finish downloading the app, there will be some garbage characters in the COMM
mode screen. Nothing to worry about.
6. About the Source Code
You can modify and recompile the source code using the compiler found at John Toebes'
pages (http://www.geocities.com/ResearchTriangle/7650/). The source code in this version
will not compile as-is, because the total size of the code for all the features exceeds
the Datalink's 742 byte limitation.
The source code for Numpad 1.0 was much better organized and documented that the code for
this version. In order to conserve memory, I had to use every trick that would save me one
byte here and another byte there. I'll be glad to explain any code segment to anyone
interested in making improvements.
If you do create something interesting using Numpad as your starting point, please release
it to the public with the source code, so that we all benefit. Please provide proper
attribution for the code you reused.
Enjoy!
