ACCESSING:
DESCRIPTION: This screen allows the user to upload a pre-
viously created serial communications application that was
originally done for the Quantum™ LX, and to convert the ad-
dresses so that they can be used for the Quantum™ HD.
MAP FILE
The following selections are provided:
[Map File] - Because the addressing scheme be-
tween the Quantum™ version 5.0x and earlier
software and the Quantum™ HD version 10.0x
and later software is not the same, this utility
was created. The map file is a conversion utility
that can be used to allow a communications ap-
plication that was previously written by the user
under the Quantum™ version 5.0x and earlier to
function properly with the HD by redirecting the
old addresses to the new HD addresses. A pull
down menu is provided to select from the fol-
lowing:
•
No - Do not use map file, the user is
either not going to be using external
communications, or they will be writing
the communication application based
upon the HD addresses.
•
Yes - The user has an application that
was previously written for the Quan-
tum™ version 5.0x or earlier, and they

want to utilize the same code for the

Two keys are located at the right hand side of the
screen. The following describes their function:
[Upload MapFile.txt to USB Device] – Af-
ter the user has modified the MapFile.txt
file to suit their needs, pressing this key will
cause the file to be uploaded from the USB
memory back into the Quantum™ HD.
[Download MapFile.txt from Quantum™
HD] – With a USB memory stick installed
on the HD, pressing this key will cause the
MapFile.txt file to be downloaded from the
Quantum™ HD into the USB memory.
CREATING AND USING THE MAP FILE
Since the Quantum™ HD addressing scheme is dif-
ferent from the older LX version, a map needs to be
created to re-direct the old address requests to the
new address.
The MapFile is simply a text file that is created and
formatted in such a way that when uploaded to the
Quantum™ HD, it will cause the specified addresses
(as listed in the MapFile) to be re-mapped from an
older version Quantum™ program to the Quantum™
HD.
