RFC-1 Advanced Operation page 6.48
Save/Restore Data Dump
The save/restore data dump copies the memory contents to the data port in a format that should be captured by a
computer. The dump is a continuous feed of data from every address in order from 0000 to 1023. Each data byte is
followed by a “#” character. There are spaces in the data stream but there are no addresses, no comments and no
carriage returns or line feeds. A short sample is shown below.
00 # 03 # 02 # 00 # 00 # 03 # 02 # 00 # 00 # 03 # 02 # 00 # 00 # 03 # 02 # 00 #
00 # 03 # 02 # 00 # 00 # 03 # 02 # 00 # 00 # 03 # 02 # 00 # 00 # 03 # 02 # 00 #
…
00 # 00 # 00 # 07 # 00 # 00 # 04 # 06 # 01 # 00 # 08 # 00 # 00 # 03 # 02 # 00 #
*
The # character after each value is included so that the captured data can be used to reprogram the RFC-1. Use a
terminal program such as HyperTerminal to capture the data stream and save it to a file. The file must be a pure text
file with no line breaks or other formatting information.
To restore the RFC-1 settings, connect to the system, enter programming mode and transmit the file to the RFC-1 in
text mode. The RFC-1 will interpret the text as if a user is entering programming commands from the terminal
keyboard. The final ❊ character terminates programming mode.
6.8.13 Terminal Emulation Software
HyperTerminal is no longer included with the Windows operating system. The software is available for download but
it appears that the software is no longer free for private use. Users of Windows Vista and Windows 7 may be able to
download and use an earlier version of the software.
Other programs are available that can be used in place of HyperTerminal. TeraTerm is a good substitute that is
open-source and easily downloaded
