Hi How do I send a hex file (the output of the 9LC compiler [1]) from Windows to a 9010A using RS232? I can use FIDE to compile a script into hex and send the hex ("compile and send") and that works fine but I'm not seeing an option in FIDE to open and send a pre-existing hex file. There is an option "send a pre-compiled file to the 9010A base unit" which sounds like what I want but I can see no way to select the file. The original Fluke 'xfer' utility [2[ supports sending hex files over serial but I can't get it to work on Win7 (32bit). Native "dos" it never starts the transfer. Under dosbox it completes without seeming to send anything and the Fluke just displays "Aux-Receiving". Trying to send the file direct to the serial port using DOS "copy <file> com1:" (in text or binary modes) or using Realterm just results in a Framing Error at 9600-7O1 (the FIDE recommended default) and 9600-8N1. Using 300-7O1 gets me a Parity Error rather than Framing Error. Also, I saw an old comment from John that XON/XOFF is manually enabled through the Fluke setup menu (http://www.vectorlist.org/TechTools/2009/08/0003.html) but I don't see such an option and Kevin replied saying same.
