DATAMAN S4 MANUAL

Bulletin Board
assembler creates a file of machine-code
automatically, but the file
is not usually actionable code. Actionable object
code which is placed
in memory exactly as it is received is called
BINARY format. Transmission
formats usually have a certain amount of extra
information, for example
the ADDRESS to start loading the data,
CHECKSUM bytes to validate
transmission etc. S4 receives files in common
formats which are output
by assemblers; formats such as INTELHEX,
MOTOROLA S, TEKHEX, ASCII
or BINARY and translates these into actionable
object code which is
stored in the USER RAM.
