Communicating with the Module 9-7

4. If your module has the 1747-M1 memory module installed, type

9FFFH

for the

ending address. If your module has the 1747-M2 memory module installed,
type

FFFFH

for the ending address. Refer to the SLC 500 BASIC and BASIC-T

User Manual publication number 1746-UM004A-US-P, if you need to verify
whether you have the M1 or the M2 memory module. For the 1746-BAS-T,
the memory modules are an 8K EEPROM, 1771-DBMEM1 (similar to the
1747-M1), and a 32K EEPROM, 1771-DBMEM2 (similar to the 1747-M2).

5. Press

[Enter]

after typing in the ending address and the hex file upload

begins.

Downloading Hex Files

Downloading hex files is exactly like downloading program files. The addressing
information necessary when uploading hex files is embedded in the file and does
not need to be entered for a download. Make sure you have changed to Terminal
mode and established communications with the module as described earlier in this
chapter. Proceed as follows:

1. Select

Download hex file from host to module

using the path shown

below:

Path: Toplevel Menu

teRminal

File

dOwnload hex file from

host to module

Path: Main Menu

Other

teRminal

File

dOwnload hex file

from host to module

QuickStroke: none

You are prompted for a filename to download just as you would be if
downloading a program file.

2. Enter the path, filename, and file extension of the file to be downloaded, as

you would with a program file.

3. Press

[Enter]

after typing in the filename and the hex file download begins.

Besides the EEPROM memory options, the module also has two UVPROM
memory options as explained in the SLC 500 BASIC and BASIC-T User
Manual
publication number 1746-UM004A-US-P, or the BASIC Module
Series B User Manual
, publication number 1771-6.5.113. We recommend
using the utilities supplied with your PROM programmer when downloading
hex files to program UVPROMs.

IMPORTANT

You must enter the addresses exactly as indicated above to avoid a
checksum error when downloading this file to other EEPROMs
or UVPROMs.
