Creating an script from scratch
Creating an script is not different than giving the configuration com-
mands manually to the unit.
Create a new empty file on any low-level
text editor like Windows
TM
’
notepad. Start adding a new line for each configuration message,
when finish, save the file as a tmf file.
Note for notepad users: Notepad won’t let you save the file with
an extension different to
txt
, to be able to save it with the
tmf
ex-
tension make sure that on the
Type
box of the
Save as
dialog,
All files
is selected, then enter a name followed by
.tmf
.
Now the tmf file you just created can be passed to an unit using
the
TAIP Downloader
software, see the
Writing Scripts
section for
this.
If you prefer, you can edit an existing script instead of creating a
new one from scratch.
Another option for not having to create an script from scratch is mak-
ing
TAIP Downloader
generate an script file by reading an
e-track
TM
. See the next section.
4.21.2
Using
TAIP Downloader
Make sure of connecting
e-track
TM
before opening the application.
Make sure also of having
e-track
TM
’s
driver installed before connect-
ing the unit. If you have not installed the driver, see the
Communi-
cating with the unit
section of the
Operation
chapter. If you connect
the unit after opening
TAIP Downloader
, close it and open it again.
After the previous steps, having the unit is connected with error mes-
sages informed by Windows, open
TAIP Downloader
. Once the ap-
plication is opened, we must set the COM port which is being used by
the actual USB connection with
e-track
TM
. A list of available ports

Do not use high-level editors like word processors as they will add confusing
no-plain-text characters to the script.
