The following programs will allow HCS users to compile control programs and upload them to their HCS-II DX2 Controllers. You must use the version of COMPILE that matches your HCS-II firmware version.
HOST
HOST is used to monitor and control an HCS-II via a PC serial port. Most common USB to serial adapters will work as well if you assign them to COM1-COM4.
- HOST v3.62a -
This version has a fix to prevent problems setting
the time after the Y2K date change. It will work with all v3.x firmware versions. - HOST v4.01 - This version is for v4.00 and higher. It is functionally
identical to v3.62 - just a version # increment.
COMPILE
COMPILE is used to compile XPRESS programs for uploading to the HCS-II Controller.
-
COMPILE v3.62a - This version of has the following updates:
- Fixed 8th module bug - you can now CONFIG 8 of each module type instead of just 7
- Added more informative error messages
Users with firmware v3.60 and v3.61 can also use this version. Due to version checking it will NOT work with XPRESS versions less than 3.6x
-
COMPILE v3.64 & COMPILE v4.01 - These versions of have the following updates:
- Adds support for Caller ID Number display via %M string flag
- Adds support for Caller ID Name display via %N string flag
- Adds support for fixed digit length strings via %Sx flag
The v3.64 compiler must be used with v3.64 XPRESS firmware and the original 64180/Z180 CPU
The v4.01 compiler must be used with v4.01 XPRESS firmware and the new S180 CPU Upgrade for the HCS-II
Be sure to rename the compile download to ‘COMPILE.EXE’ before using in a DOS window.
