» NetStatus
The NetStatus module provides the fuctionality to control the display of an hourglass on the screen whenever there is prolonged activity on the Econet network.
It achieves this by:
- Claims the EconetV software vector, examines the reason for each call that is made to the vector
- In turn, makes an appropriate call to the Hourglass module, so that the appearance of the Hourglass indicates the status of the net
It also displays the percentage figures (when appropriate) which show the percentage of a transfer that has completed.
LED Indicators
The hourglass has two ‘LED’, one on top, and another on the bottom:
| LED on | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Top only | User’s station is trying to receive data |
| Botton only | User’s station is trying to transmit data |
| Both | User’s station is waiting for a broadcast reply |
NetStatus Reason Code Translations
NetStatus translates the reason codes for calls to EconetV into SWI calls that it makes to the Hourglass module. These are listed on the Econet Vector Reason Codes page.
