1.3 The device file archive (*.dfz)
1.3.1 Description
Device files (*.hex) of the MasterIV - devices are delivered in a common device file archive. It has the file
extension dfz (stands for Datafox Zip). Now simply the device file archives are indicated instead of the
device files (*.hex). This applies to the DatafoxStudioIV and DLL. The indication of device files (*.hex)
is still possible.
1.3.2 Function of the archive
The transmission routine of the device file picks out the fitting file from the device file archive on the
basis of the hardware options available in the device. Thus, it is guaranteed that all hardware components
available in the device are supported by the corresponding firmware.
1.3.3 Manual selection of a file
If you do not want to integrate the archive in your installation, you have the possibility to add single
device files from the archive to the installation.
The file format of the device file archive is Zip. Hence, you can open the archive with every standard Zip-
program. Via the menu item "open with..." in the context menu you can chose an appropriate program
Version: 04.01.07.00
