Please note, it may be required to restart your computer during the installation process. If this happens, Setup.exe will need to be re-executed once the machine has fully booted. 3. Using the tool The tool is simple to use and requires little introduction. After executing the program, a splash screen will appear. This will disappear soon after or when a key has been pressed or the mouse button clicked on the window. The first page, allows you to input the type of data transfer, the file to transfer to/from, the COM port through which to transfer and the baud rate at which the transfer should take place. 3.1 Type of Transfer The value can be one of the following: MMI Download (RX) Downloads a ASCII representation of the MMI UDP Download (RX) Downloads a Binary representation of the MMI UDP Upload (TX) Uploads a Binary representation of the MMI Downloading results in file specified in 3.2 containing the data received from the drive. Uploading results in the contents of the file from 3.2 being sent to the drive. 3.2 File The file option specifies the file which shall be the target/source of the transfer. In the case of a download, the file is the target and shall contain the data sent by the drive. The resulting file can be considered to be a back-up of the contents of the drive and also be used for cloning. In the case of an upload, the file is the source and should be a previous UDP Download (RX). 3.3 COM Port Most PCs only have 2 COM ports. This application can handle up to 8 COM ports. The selected COM port will need to be free, i.e. not in use by a modem or mouse. If the port if not present or in use, an error message will appear. 3.4 Baud Rate This value should be set to be the same as that on the drive. Failure to ensure this will result in an undetermined execution of the application. 4. Support This software is supplied as is and so has no technical support.
