Hex Terminal Software - Windows
Visual Basic Hex Terminal for our products. For
Win95/98/NT. Should work with Win 2000 and XP. Self extracting
executable.
Hex Terminal
software version 4.4 (308 KB)
Source
code for Hex Terminal version 4.4 (Visual Basic 6.0) (217 KB)
Hex term is provided as a convenience to customers.
It is supported as time permits.
Hex term uses a third party serial 'driver' software
package. VB serial com routines are NOT used. I can not distribute
the serial com driver files.
The third party software package is called "COMM-DRV/LIB"
available from http://www.wcscnet.com
Read the notes in the main source code file for
details.
(I have used this serial driver software for
many years and consider it to be very useful and reliable.)
Note that if you modify the Hex term source for
use with the AVT-418 (Ethernet), you don't need any serial communications
support.
All calls to the serial driver software can be
removed.
A customer has recommended http://www.franson.com or http://www.franson.biz as a good
source for serial driver software.
(I have not tried those products, so I can't
offer an opinion.)
Hex Terminal Software - DOS
Hex Terminal software for our serial products.
DOS version. Zip file.
Hex Terminal
software version 11 (67 KB)
Use and Installation Notes
Please read the file: Hex Term notes
Terminal software for Palm
Product is called "CS Online" for Palm.
http://www.conklinsystems.com/palm/online.php
Can be used with any of our serial products,
such as the AVT-718.
It has macros to store command strings. If command
strings are longer than what the macro will hold, you can write
the sequence in a Palm Memo and use the "Send Memo" feature to simulate
reading from a file. When using a macro or memo you must preceed
each byte with " \x
" to send as data. For example, to switch to VPW mode send: \xE1\x33
(This information provided by a courteous customer.)
AVT-418 and AVT-718 FLASH reprogramming (of the
interface only)
To re-FLASH the AVT-418 and AVT-718 you need
the firmware file and one of the re-FLASH applications.
Previous versions of AVT-418 and AVT-718 firmware
are available by request, send an e-mail to support@AVT-HQ.com.
Instructions on how to use the re-FLASH application
are included with the re-FLASH application software.
All are standard zip files and do not require
installation.

AVT-84x FLASH reprogramming (of the interface
only)
To re-FLASH the AVT-841, AVT-842, and AVT-843
interface units you need the firmware file and the correct re-FLASH
application.
AVT-84x Firmware file
For all three units: AVT-841, 842, and 843.
[Note: On power-up, the AVT-84x reports start-up (91 12) the
boot loader version (92 04 xx).]

AVT-841 and AVT-842 re-FLASH application
For Windows 98SE/NT/XP (should work under
VISTA, but has not been tested).
The two re-FLASH applications for the AVT-841 and
AVT-842 will work with either unit. The AVT-842 version might
run faster on some machines.

Notes on re-FLASHing an AVT-84x interface
Nothing to install and no changes are made to the
registry.
Download the firmware file and the re-FLASH application
for your unit.
Put both zip files into a folder or directory of
your choice.
Unzip both files into the same directory.
Launch the re-FLASH application by double-clicking
on the re-FLASH application ".exe" file.
Select the firmware file, configure the communications,
and then "Program" the interface.
Wait until the operation is complete before doing
anything.
It is recommended that you shut down all other applications
on the host computer while re-FLASHing an AVT-84x interface.
