General Notes
Some information about data translation is listed below:
Note: Formats 10, 11, and 89 do not function properly unless you select NO
parity and 8-bit data.
Compatibility
When translating data, you may use any remote source that produces
formats compatible with the descriptions listed in this section.
Formats with Limited
Address Fields
Some formats are not defined for use with address fields greater than
64K. Thus, if you transfer a block greater than 64K, the address fields that
would be greater than 64K may wrap around and overwrite data
transferred in previous data records. Formats 70 through 86, and 90 may
exhibit this characteristic.
Hardware Handshaking
Hardware handshaking may be used if compatible with the host
interface by connecting the appropriate lines at the serial port interface.
Hardware handshake (CTS/DTR) is enabled as the default. However, if
those signals aren’t connected, the programming electronics sense this
and communicate using software handshake (XON/XOFF). The
programmer always uses software handshake regardless of whether
hardware handshake is enabled.
Leader/Trailer
During output of all formats except 89 (HP 64000), a 50-character leader
precedes the formatted data and a 50-character trailer follows. This
leader/trailer consists of null characters. If the null count parameter is
set to FF hex, then the leader/trailer is skipped. To set the null count, go
to the More Commands/Configure/Edit/Communication Parameters
screen and set the Number of Nulls parameter. If in CRC, use the CRC U
command to set the null count.
