Absolute Binary Format, Code 16
Absolute Binary format is a literal representation of the data to be
transferred and no translation of the data takes place during the transfer.
There are no overhead characters added to the data (i.e. no address
record, start code, end code, nulls, or checksum). Every byte transferred
represents the user’s data. This format can be used to download
unformatted data such as an “.exe” file to the programmer.
Since this format does not have an end of file character, download
transfers will terminate after no more data are received and an I/O
timeout occurs. This is true for all data formats which don’t have an end
of file indicator. For this reason do not use a value of 0 for the I/O
timeout parameter on the communication parameters screen, since this
will disable the timeout from occurring. A value between 1 and 99
(inclusive) should be used for the I/O timeout parameter when using
formats which require the timeout to occur.
