Format
<$IASCII File Format>Each data byte is
translated into two hexadecimal
ASCII characters, sent Most Significant Nybble
first. ASCII is similar
to INTEL, MOTOROLA and TEKHEX, except
that nothing but the raw data
is sent - no addresses, no checksums. After 32
bytes or 64 characters
a LINEFEED and CARRIAGE RETURN are sent
(0D 0A), which enables the
transmission to be received by a serial printer ora
terminal. At the
end of the transmission an End-of-File character
(1A) is sent.
ASCII is normally sent and received as an 8 bit
transmission. The
MSB is masked low when receiving, placed low
when sending.
When receiving, S4 asks for START and END
addresses where the block
will be stored.
<BI>NOTE.<MI> INTEL, MOTOROLA and
TEKHEX transmissions can be inspected
by receiving them in ASCII format. Then you can
see delimiters, addresses
and checksums.<D>
