The dumby terminal mode is a great advantage over other systems. AS orgramer can take a simple terminal and add buttons and whatever to see info while the elevator is running.
The reason it was sort of proprietary is that different jobs map i/o's to different addresses so it is not standard so a data file for each job was needed to run a dos program that swift provided for free.
I found that the first 4 rows of i/o's is for the most part standard so in2003 I wrote my own program to observe i/o's while the car was running and added bells and wisles like :
>a stop counter
>velosity request while car is moving
>data logger so info could be reviewed offline
>hands free test to run car between 2 points and one of those 2 points coukd be changed at runtime.
I am trying to find a company willing to hire me to develop software.
