DOWNLOADING SLP CODE
The following steps outline the process of writing the application SLP code into the iMAC Controller via the
serial communications port. Refer to Section 1.2 for an overview of the serial communications port.
1. Ensure that iMAC Controller is not powered.
2. Connect the iMAC serial port interface to any com port on your PC. Ampcontrol recommends using
the iMAC Programming Cable; refer to Section 1.3.
3. Hold down [SHIFT+ENTER] on the iMAC Controller keypad and apply power to the iMAC Controller
at the same time.
4. If the iMAC Controller LCD screen remains blank (with two faint horizontal bars) you are now in
programming mode.
5. Start iTools.
Figure 19: iTools
6. Select the SLP code write option: iMAC > SLP Code > Write (Hex file -> to iMAC).
This can be selected by either double clicking the option or by selecting the option and clicking
“Launch selected tool”.
NOTE
If iTools was unable to open the previously used serial com port of your
PC, it will automatically launch the com port manager so that you can
select another port.
