LOAD (*.DLD) files to the disk and restart your machine in true DOS using this disk. [If you have
true DOS, to create a bootable disk under true DOS type the following "Format a: /s"]
Instruction
The files needed to execute your download will be provided as a *.ZIP file. You will have to extract
the content of this ZIP in a temporary directory using programs as Pkunzip or WINZIP (not provided
by NEXO). Once extracted you should have access to the following files:
•
Two download (.DLD) files: the last official release version and the newly released version. If
you experience any problems with the new version, simply load back the old .DLD program to
return the unit to the previous version.
•
A README.TXT that will contain download instruction
•
WHATSNEW.TXT, which will inform you with all new features of the new LOAD.
•
The downloader program NXLOAD.EXE
Execute the following procedure to load the new software into the NX241 Flash EPROM.
1) Connect the serial cable to both computer and NX241.
2) Execute your DOS shell (or start your machine from DOS).
3) At the DOS prompt, type the start command for the loader in the directory containing the files.
The correct syntax is as follows:
NXLOAD filename -COMport_number. <ENTER>
(e.g. NXLOAD LOAD1_80.DLD –1)
The downloader works with Com Ports 1 and 2 only. Com 3 and 4 cannot be used.
4) When you press <Enter> to invoke the command the following message appears on the
computer screen:
"Loading file...Waiting for NX241..."
Note: If the message is followed by a string of strange characters it is possible you have entered
the incorrect Com Port number. Hit ESCAPE to abort the procedure and start again. If nothing
happens, make sure that the cable is correctly wired and your computer COM port actually DOES
work before trying again. You can also try re-booting your machine.
5) Now to complete the procedure, you must set the NX241 to "Download" mode to make it ready
to accept the program.
