Make use of the TDS2020F's power by making it do the job of many dedicated computers.

Three forms of multitasking are available on TDS2020F embedded computer:

l       Interrupt Multitasking where an interrupt swaps the Forth system for a new one at regular intervals. Each time it runs one pass through a high-level Forth word and then returns, so forming a background loop. This is a standard feature of TDS2020F in the Forth ROM.

l       Co-operative Multitasking is the traditional Forth 'Round Robin' multitasker where one task takes control until the word PAUSE is met which causes a task switch to the next in the ring. This word is already placed in input/output and delay causing routines.

l       Pre-emptive Multitasking is like Co-operative Multitasking in that it allows I/O and delays to cause a task switch, but no task can hog the processor for more than 10ms (default value). After this time the task is forced to give up control to the next one.
