RE: [techtoolslist] Uploading binary images from Fluke 9010a
According to this manual I can at least make a backup copy of the tape onto other tapes. So, if anyone has a clock module and the async option installed - but no tape let me know. I have lots of cassettes.

Is there any documentation on using the clock module somewhere?

I'll have to pull that up and check it out. If I remember right though, that just says how to insert binary data but it does not tell you what you can do with the binary data. My interest is piqued, so I will take a look.

The binary code format is outlined in section 7 of the 9010A programming manual.

What about the binary programs though? Look at programs 12 - 18 http://rossiters.com/games/fluke-async.txt

James is correct, you can transfer the programs that are loaded with a tape out the RS-232 port and store on a PC. The software is on the TTL ftp site ftp.flippers.com/TTL/Fluke . RKSIC.exe is one of them

Did anyone ever figure out how to transfer binary images such as those on tape for the clock module? I happen to have the tape with the binaries, the clock module and the Async. Sig. Option installed on my fluke 9010a. It would be nice to keep an archive in case my tape goes bad or something. I'll have to do a little research on that.

Well, now that I think about it. If you save the file in Hex format it should be OK. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think the binaries will save as "Source" format. http://rossiters.com/games/sig-a.h - side A http://rossiters.com/games/sig-b.h - side B So far the two suggestions I have for FIDE are 1) Create an option to Open and *CLOSE* the COM Port. Makes it easy to switch between programs. 2) Create an option to send files as HEX. (without compiling) FIDE is pretty awesome so far.
