Loading User Data from the SD Card - Data File without Sectors

Proceed as follows to read user data from a data file without sectors on the SD Card\ and write them to the CPU:

  1. Insert the SD card.

  2. Read a data set by calling the block SD_READ with the following settings:

    EN := TRUE (* FALSE/TRUE edge starts writing *)
    ATTRIB := 2 (* open / read *)
    FILENO := 0…99 (* number of the file which is to be read *)
    SEG := Address of the variable of the sector label (*any*)
    FORMAT := Data format
    NVAR := Number of values in data set
    ADRVAR := Address of the first variable into which data are to be written
    The read process is successfully completed when output DONE:=TRUE and output ERR:=FALSE. A read error is indicated by ERR:=TRUE and ERNO<>0

  3. Further data sets can be read with the following settings after the completion message is displayed (output DONE=TRUE). This process is started with a FALSE/TRUE edge at input EN:

    EN := TRUE (* FALSE/TRUE edge starts reading *)
    ATTRIB := 3 (* continue read *)
    FILENO := 0…99 (* number of the file which is to be read*)
    SEG := Address of the variable of the sector label (*any*)
    FORMAT := Data format
    NVAR := Number of values in data set
    ADRVAR := Address of the first variable into which data are to be written
    If an unexpected sector label or the end of file (EOF) is detected when reading, a corresponding error message is generated.

  4. To read a further data set and to close the file afterwards, call the block SD_READ with the following settings after the completion message (output DONE=TRUE) and start the process with a FALSE/TRUE edge at input EN:

    EN := TRUE (* FALSE/TRUE edge starts reading *)
    ATTRIB := 4 (* read / close *)
    FILENO := 0…99 (* number of the file which is to be read*)
    SEG := Address of the variable of the sector label (*any*)
    FORMAT := Data format
    NVAR := Number of values in data set
    ADRVAR := Address of the first variable into which data are to be written
    If an unexpected sector label or the end of file (EOF) is detected when reading, a corresponding error message is generated.

  5. To close the file, call the block SD_READ with the following settings after the completion message (output DONE=TRUE) and start the process with a FALSE/TRUE edge at input EN:

    EN := TRUE (* FALSE/TRUE edge starts reading *)
    ATTRIB := 4 (* close *)
    FILENO := 0…99 (* number of the file which is to be read*)
    SEG := Address of the variable of the sector label (*any*)
    FORMAT := Data format
    NVAR := Number of values in data set (*any*)
    ADRVAR := Address of the first variable (*any*)
