Now click the send button on the toolbar
or select Transfer | Send File.... Select the
“Xmodem” protocol (NOT the “1K Xmodem” protocol”), and browse for the BIN file (eg:
tmgp80.bin). When you select the file, it will download to the 1710, whereupon the 1710 will
verify the file and program it to flash memory, which will look something like this:
NOTE 1: If HyperTerminal fails to send the file (“Error Count Exceeded” error), close and re-start HyperTerminal
and try again. This is a bug in older versions of HyperTerminal.
NOTE 2: The 1710 hardware sometimes “remembers” the PREVIOUS key when you power down, to prevent this
(and allow the downloaded application to run), either press another key just before powering down, or power down
for at least 10 seconds.
8.4 GENERATION CALIBRATION
Calibration of voltage and current generation is required when the output is not equivalent to the actual
generated signal. Before starting the calibration procedures, the CAL1 command must be sent via the RS-
232 interface to enable saving of the calibration factors.
A 0.1% accurate external reference meter is required to perform the calibration.
