I'm having a problem with a hex file being changed from my original file. When I load the hex file into the S4 it is entirely different than my original hex file. I have setup the S4 for Intel files. What is causing this problem? Here is a sample of my file.

Hi Greg,

The S4 is using a different formatting and Intel data record than the data sent from the PC.
The 2 files are identical in terms of data, they are just created in different formats.
The Intel Hex file format allows that.

Hope this helps.

Hi Neil,
I need to reload library ROM to my Dataman S4. It displays:

Dataman S4 BIOS 1.2
512K BYTES RAM
NO LIBRARY LOADED.

I need to do PC to Dataman S4 library ROM loading, please get me through the steps.

Hello GoddyN,

There is an application note on this very task which can be found on our website here. It is the tenth application note down the list.

If you encounter any problems at any stage, please let me know and I will be happy to help.
