Parallax has released a beta version IDE v2.0; to use sxwiz with this version, simply change the emulator setup as follows:

1) Within SXKEY (v2.0) click -> RUN ->Configure and UNCHECK the Use SASM box. This will use the old assembler. Note: you can still use the Include statement in sxwiz as before.

2) In SXWIZ, enter ->File ->Emulate Setup ->Setup
Select Emulator Type: CUSTOM

Enter in the .EXE PATH window:

C:\PROGRAM FILES\PARALLAX INC\SX-KEY V2.0 BETA 3.5\SXKEY.EXE /1 ASMFILE

Enter in the two App Caption windows:

SXKEY BETA 3.5

Click SAVE at the bottom of the Emulate Setup screen.

Note that you will be able to now use both sxkey versions simply by switching from Emulator Type: CUSTOM to SXKEY and then clicking SAVE.

Anomalies with the SXKEY emulator and WinXP:
Symptom: Sxkey download status bar is retained even after leaving debug.

Correction: Within windows, enter the Hardware Manager->Com Ports->Advanced and turn the FIFO off.

Note: this is an Sxkey issue, not Sxwiz, and exists whether you are operating Sxwiz or Sxkey outside of Sxwiz.

Parallax has released version v2.0 which may be obtained from their site; to use Sxwiz with this version:

1) Within SXKEY(v2.0) click ->RUN ->Configure and UNCHECK BOTH the "Use SASM" and "Use New Editor" boxes.

2) In SXWIZ, enter ->File ->Emulate Setup ->Setup and select Emulator Type: CUSTOM

Enter in the .EXE window:

C:\Program Files\Parallax Inc\SX-KEY v2.0\SXKEY.EXE /x ASMFILE

where:

/x is the comm port you are using (/1, /2, /3 or /4)

Enter in BOTH application caption windows:

SXKEY v2.0

Click SAVE at the bottom of the Emulate Setup screen.

Note: although this will not make use of the newer Sxkey editor, all Basic source editing is done within Sxwiz; editing of the "assembly" compiled source is not advised in any case since any changes will be over-written on the next Basic Compile.

06-08-06
Emulator setups for Versions v3.0 and v3.1 follow the same procedure as explained above using the appropriate command and caption lines.

For example with v3.1:

C:\Program Files\Parallax Inc\SX-KEY V3.1\SXKEY.EXE /1 ASMFILE

and

SX-KEY V3.10 in both caption lines.

Note both entries must be exact matches of where sxkey.exe resides and the caption bar at the top of the sxkey page. In this case V3.1 and V3.10 respectively.
