VCL Studio: Compile VCL “Package” “Flash”
Package and Flash app
e c13 le is the project’s “packaged” version. e le contains all customized programmer menu(s),
the parameter settings (values), the compiled VCL program, and the OS. Use it with the Curtis 1313
HHP to transfer a project’s device prole (in essence) to new/dierent, but matching devices (i.e.,
F4-A to F4-A controllers). Use the c13 le to complete the most detailed ‘update’ to vehicles in the
eld using just the 1313 HHP.
Extracting the .c13 le
… For use by the 1313 HHP to ash a controller’s conguration into matching controllers.
Always review the instructions and terminology available within the version of CIT in use. (For example,
these images are from the Curtis Integrated Toolkit
TM
program, version 1.5.0 and the above project.)
e 1313 HHP oers the means to download a CIT Project’s controller conguration into other
compatible controllers. Referred to as “ashing”, it is similar to the process used to update the specic
project’s (modied) OS in the E/SE series of controllers. e F-Series controllers use a CIT generated
.c13 le. Follow this summary to obtain the “packaged” .c13 le. e process of using this .c13 le
is in the 1313 HHP user’s manual, Chapter 8 – Flash, Firmware Update. e manual, CANbus 1313
HHP, 53225 Rev A 3/18, is downloadable from the Curtis website.
