12)! AutoDownload: “sA5A5” [nn] (card address)!
This is the format of the file that the Sd-50/8 or Sd-50/40 will receive and load into its 'Flash' memory.
An AutoDownload file is a binary file. Any AutoDownload file that has previously been saved can be
sent to a Sd-50/8 or Sd-50/40 by selecting the ‘send binary file’ on your modem program and selecting the
AutoDownload file for sending. You must be sure that the modem program has not been set to ‘gobble’ any
special characters (carriage returns, line feeds, etc.).
The Hyper Terminal program that comes with recent versions of Windows will not work for sending
AutoDownloads. For some strange reason it has been written to randomly change any binary value that is
larger than one hundred twenty-seven.
If you AutoDownload shows to a Sd-50/8 or Sd-50/40, the shows will stay in the flash memory as long
as a different (different AutoDownload FileName, or different date/time on an AutoDownload file with the
same FileName) AutoDownload file is not found on the Sd/MMC flash card.
13)! RealTime Update: “~”
This command sets the Sd-50/8 or Sd-50/40 into a mode where it will update the outputs in RealTime
from the data received through the serial port. The Sd-50/8 or Sd-50/40 uses this command to update the
outputs in real time.
The maximum frame rate supported by this function is thirty frames per second. Any faster than this
just won’t fit through the PC’s serial port at the 9600 baud used.
