Test
It is an Hardware test program, it is also useful for debugging because it shows all Windows Digital
I/O and all serial ports.
Clicking on a serial port, the application opens the port and then sends the string ”TEST STRING” at
9600 baud. The port is kept open for about 10 seconds in ”echo” mode, that means that every char
received by the MCU is transmitted back. It can be easy to test ComPort and cables, for example you
can use Windows HyperTerminal program connected to the ComPort with a NULL MODEM cable.
M16Flasher
This program is used when the Embedded Taximeter is installed. It flashes the taximeter firmware,
just like the AITPProg does with the AITP processor. Firmware received from Digitax can be replaced
either manually, by copying it in the SysApps\Res folder and manually running this application, or
automatically by copying the file in the SysApps\Box folder. In the last case the firmware is replaced
on the next MCU start up.
Firmware file can be uploaded for example ”On the Air” using the GPRS connection, BlueTooth or any
other available communication channel. It can also be done using a SD Card or USB pen drive.
