MaxLoader User’s Guide

The default selection on File Load menu is in Binary Format. To select any of
the HEX files mentioned above, choose “All HEX File” by pressing
⇓
button.
When you have selected the desired file, press the OPEN button to load the file
into the data buffer. If you are programming a PLD, you will want to load a
JEDEC file. The procedure is identical to loading a data file, except that the
files in the current directory will have the JED extension. If your selected
device is an Altera MAX family, the file you should load is a POF extension.
The MaxLoader uses a RAM buffer to hold data. After loading a file into the
buffer, you can edit the buffer data. If you load a JEDEC file, you may use (the
vector pattern edit) command to view or edit the fuse map and (test/vectors) for
any test vectors that may have been in the JEDEC file.
