Thread: hp-41cx / NoV-64d / Hepax XF multi-function

[Sylvain Cote]

I always use HEPAX 1D with my NoV-64d modules and I have no issue.

Testing HEPAX 4H on one of my NoV-64d modules with a 41CX Fullnut (ROM: 0:NFL 1:DCC)

Module programming:

1. Download the latest ROM files from Monte website (rom_files_230725.zip)
2. Unzip rom_files_230725.zip
3. Copy all the ROM files into the "Clonix & NoV Configuration" folder
4. Start ClonixConfig61.exe
5. Select NoV-64(d)
6. Select HEPAX 4H (4 pages for HEPAX-4H and 1 page for LIBRARY4 is selected) [warning: to my knowledge, LIBRARY4 only works with 41CX OS]
7. Assign HPX_PLUS.ROM to page E bank 1
8. Program the module
   

Module testing:

• OFF ; insert module ; ON
• CAT 2
  → -TIME 2C
  → -CX TIME
  → -HEPAX'4H
  → -HEPX_PLUS
  → -HEPX_APPS
  → -EXT FCN 2D
  → -CX EXT FNC
• Create Erase HEPAX RAM program:
  
  Code:
  

  LBL "EHR"
"OK"
8.011
LBL 00
VIEW X
CLRAM
ISG X
GTO 00
  Code:
  

  SF 11
OFF
HEPROOM
VIEW X
PSE
HEPCHN?
AVIEW
END
• Init all Nov-64d RAM
  • HEXEDIT ; ADR 4100 enter 000 ; exit HEXEDIT ; XEQ "EHR" ; wait until off ; ON // display 2610 then 089AB0
  • HEXEDIT ; ADR 4100 enter 001 ; exit HEXEDIT ; XEQ "EHR" ; wait until off ; ON // display 2610 then 089AB0
  • HEXEDIT ; ADR 4100 enter 002 ; exit HEXEDIT ; XEQ "EHR" ; wait until off ; ON // display 2610 then 089AB0
  • HEXEDIT ; ADR 4100 enter 003 ; exit HEXEDIT ; XEQ "EHR" ; wait until off ; ON // display 2610 then 089AB0

BST           04 XROM 07,53     should display XF, something strange here
  Code:
  

  [PRGM]        0.0000            exit program mode
[ON]                            off
[ON]                            on but does no power on even after several times.
                                remove module
[ON]                            now it power on
[PRGM]        04 XROM 07,53     go back to program mode, normal the module is not there
[ON]                            off then insert NoV module
  Code:
  

  [ON]                            it power on
[PRGM]        04 XF             as expected but there is something going on here, this setup is not stable
[PRGM]        0.0000            exit program mode
[ALPHA]
ABC
[ALPHA]
XEQ "TST"     3.0000            ALENG of "ABC" is 3, it works, but still

I have to go, I will do more testing later.
