Getting Started
Session 8: Loading Data from a PC Using HiTerm
In this Session, you will learn how to use HiTerm to download data from a PC
to the programmer through one of the serial ports on the programmer. HiTerm
was written with this programming system in mind and supports 115.2K baud
downloading and binary transfer, while some other terminal emulators do not.
HiTerm opens and closes files automatically; with other terminal emulators you
must do that yourself.
For this Session, you need the following:
� A DOS-based PC connected to the programmer (described in Chapter 2).
� HiTerm properly installed on the PC connected to the programmer. See
Chapter 2, Setting Up, for quick installation instructions for HiTerm or the
HiTerm User Manual.
� Your programmer configured for High Speed Download, which allows you to
download data files at 115.2K baud. See page 2-20 to configure the
programmer for High Speed Download.
� A file to be transferred. We suggest you use sample.dat, a sample data
file on the HiTerm disk. If you use a different data file, substitute its
filename for sample.dat. If its format is not Intel Intellec 8/MDS, use the
Format Select command (see Session 6) to select the correct format.
Prepare the Programmer
1.From the Main Menu, press M T D to get to the Download Data from Host
screen, shown in Figure 3-15.

Remote port on the programmer:
� Source: Remote port
� Destination: RAM
� I/O Translation Format: 83 (Intel Hex)
� I/O Address Offset: FFFFFFFF
