Set the System Boot File Path

If you set the hex image as bootable, TCM automatically includes the DOS boot files
(IO.SYS, MSDOS.SYS, COMMAND.COM) in the hex image. Set the boot file path telling
TCM where to find the files.
To enter a system file path:
1. Choose Option | Paths from the menu bar.
2. In the System boot files field, type in the full path for the boot files, e.g.,
C:\SYMSDK\SDK3400\TERMINAL\DOS.
3. Choose the OK button to save and exit.

Set the Communications Parameters

Note: This procedure is applicable only if you plan to build a hex file and
transmit it to the PDT 3400.
Set the parameters for the device (cradle or other direct serial link) connecting the PDT 3400
and the development PC.
To set the communication parameters:
1. Choose Options | Communications from the menu bar.
2. In the Port field, select the serial port being used on the development PC
(default = COM1).
3. In the Baud Rate field, set the data transfer rate (default = 38400).
Note: For a faster download, a baud rate of 115200 works on most
development PCs.
4. In the Parity field, set the error checking value (default = None).
5. In the Data Bits field, set the number of data bits used for each character
(default = 8).
Note: For Standard and Compressed hex files, set Data Bits to 7.
For Binary and Transparent hex files, set Data Bits to 8.
