4 The SX-Key/Blitz Interface
4 The SX-Key/Blitz Interface
The SX-Key/Blitz interface is an integrated editor, programmer, and debugger. All the functions of the
SX-Key and the SX-Blitz are available through this single software interface.
Throughout the rest of this manual, the SX-Key/Blitz interface will be referred to as the SX editor, or
more simply, the editor.
4.1 Starting the SX-Key/Blitz Software
Figure 5 - The SX-Key Icon
During installation, a shortcut was automatically placed on the Windows desktop. Double-click on the
SX-Key icon to launch the SX-Key/Blitz interface. In case, the Icon has been deleted from the desktop,
you can also start the software via the Windows Start button. Navigate to the Parallax Inc. program
group and select âSX-Key v2.0â there.
4.1.1 Command Line Switches
It is also possible to start the SX-Keys software together with parameters from a command line, e.g.
using the Windows âRunâ¦â option, or from the DOS command line. The Syntax is:
SxKey /<switch> {/<switch>â¦} <File name>
When you specify a file name with a â.srcâ extension, the editor window will open, displaying the
contents of the source code file. When you specify an â.sxhâ extension instead, the hex file will be
opened into the device window.
The /r switch is used to open a file in read-only mode, i.e. it can be displayed but not modified in the
editor or in the device window.
For example
SxKey /r test.src
opens the source file named âtestâ, and displays it in the editor window and
SxKey /r test.sxh
opens the hex file named âtestâ, and displays the device window. In both examples, the files are opened
read-only, i.e. they cannot be modified.
In addition to the /r switch, the switches /1, /2, /3 and /4 are also defined. They are used to select the
COM port where the SX-Key/Blitz is attached. This will override the setting that has been recently
