2.9 Downloading Programs
2.9.1 Using Multi-drop Method
To handle communication between the terminal and a PC the Multi-drop utility is used. This
communication method uses the DT-960IOE Basic Cradle only.
To install the Multi-drop utility in your PC, execute the setup.exe and follow dialogue messages
appeared on your PC.
Configuration file
CONFIG.HTS is a parameter file that allows you to set up all the parameters in the System Menu
of the terminal. It is useful when you develop programs because it makes sure that all your
communication parameter settings are maintained after a re-boot.
Downloading program to the terminal
The procedure below applies if you have followed the installation guides described in Chapters 1
and 2. Or, if you have not, then you will have to change the path names. You must have a .map file
and a .mot file in the download directory (each application consists of a .mot file but the Multi-drop
utility will refer to the .map file during installation). Additionally, you will have the latest version of
the OS patch files patch001.lod and patch002.lod. Also, you will need CONFIG.HTS in that
directory too.
1. Run the Multi-drop utility on your PC. The screen with the main menus, Settings(F),
Execute (R) and Version (V), shown will appear.
