Creating EPROM Files
This section describes how to transfer an application to a personal computer
in an EPROM file format. Refer to Chapter 8, Special Functions, for the
BURN PROM menu description.
The BURN PROM function converts the application to a Motorola hex file
format that can be used to burn an EPROM. The file is transferred to a host
Personal Computer (PC). Once stored in the PC, the file can be downloaded
to an EPROM Programmer.
The file can be transferred to the PC using the WINDOWs program
TERMINAL.exe or any other type of serial file transfer program.
Note: This appendix describes how to transfer files using the WINDOWS
program TERMINAL.exe. If you are using a different type of transfer
program, you may see different prompting.
Refer to the following when transferring an application file to an EPROM
programmer.
