Downloading a Bank


 

Receiving a Sys Ex message without requesting one (only applies to devices with a Memory Dump button)

 

If the 'Memory Dump' buttons on the device are pressed, the software will immediately read the data and update the relevant Device bank. When the memory contents is sent in this manor, no error checking occurs and the communication is only one way.

 

If your device does not have a 'Memory Dump' button, you have to use the Download button in Enigma to download and edit the device's controller settings.

 

Requesting a Set of Presets from an Evolution Device

The software can initialise a download from the device if you click on the 'Download' button. This way is more reliable, since handshaking will occur to ensure the Sys Ex memory dump received did not contain any errors. After each Sys Ex data packet is received by the software, it will acknowledge that the data packet was successfully received and that it contains no errors. Then, when the device receives this acknowledgement, it will send the next data packet.

 

Please note this is not to say sending a set of presets by pressing the 'Memory Dump' buttons on the device is unreliable - it is just more reliable using the Download button of the software since error checking will occur.
