Binaries

So far all I've found on the tapes are the Tape MERGE binary, the Unsigned Add binary, and the Frequency Counter binary. All work - the frequency counter is very fast at recognizing the freq, goes from 10Hz to 6mHz. Neat! I still have no idea how to transfer any binaries out the RS-232 port, although reading the Utility Programs User Manual (9000A-910) it does say "A binary program is compiled on a host computer and then downloaded to the 9010A/9005A, using the AUX I/F function. A binary program can be read/written from and to the cassette tape just like other programs. It can be uploaded/downloaded to or from a host computer and is executed in the same manner as other programs (including use as a subroutine of another program)." I suspect it is an obvious function that I just have't caught - the upload/download via the RS-232, but not yet...

http://www.kalibrering.no/instlist.htm I'm not sure if this just means they calibrate the stuff or if they sell it too, but I'm guessing I cann't buy it living in the USA. Good Luck! Kev

Binaries, RS-232, and 9010 tapes
by John Robertson 07 Jun '02

Has anyone succeeded in transferring program tapes that have binary data to head out the RS-232 port? Anyone have any idea HOW this should be possible? When I get my big pile (thirty or so) service tapes I thought it would be nice to back them up to a PC. And share the suckers as well.

Re: Fluke 9100: Anyone have a fat parts library?
by Kev 06 Jun '02

No, no no. (TAF) I mean the virtual parts library that is stored on the hard disc of the 9100. To create a UFI/GFI test program on the 9100 you must build a Reference file (location of each different component) Parts file / library (logical description of each unique part) Node list (list of each signal & each node thereof) The promise is that after you've done this the 9100 is smart enough to help you find the problem..... maybe we will see....

Fluke 9100: Anyone have a fat parts library?

Before I undertake the effort of adding devices into my parts library I wanted to see if anyone out there had a killer bloated, all encompassing parts library that they would be willing to post/share. I don't know how my library compares with others but I know I keep finding things I need to add such as 7442 74191 74193 PROMs etc... Any help appreciated! Thanks, Kev

Has anyone mapped the Bally Midway card cage game with a Fluke yet? I've got some questions but I think I'm beginning to see the light.... Thanks, Kev
