Circa Download speed

Hi All,

Would like to check with guys out there, when i have completed a circa program and wanted to start download using direct cable.

The download speed of my P4 PC with 1G RAM was very slow. it take around 2 hr to download. Is there any way i can improve the download speed by doing some setting...........

My friend who has a lower PC spec than me can download faster than me using less than 20min.....

Please advise if you have the solution to my quires.....

Thank you and Best Regards

 

What version of Circa are you using? If not the current beta can you give that a go and let me know the speed?

Are you using a USB<->RS232 adapter? What make/model is you computer?

 

Hi There,

I am using Circa ver 1.1 and yes i am using USB <-> RS232 convertor. The model of my PC is Acer Aspire 5670. The spec of my PC is as follow:

Acer Aspire 5670
Intel? Core? Duo Processor T2300 (1.66GHz, 667MHz FSB, 2MB L2 cache)
Intel? Centrino? Duo mobile technology
Intel? 945PM Express chipset
1GB of DDR II RAM

While my friend is using HP P4 which i am not too sure about the specification of this PC.

Once again Thanks you and Best Regards

 

Downloading to a 5034NIRT requires a true serial port. I have never heard of a USB -> RS-232 converter that will work. You can however use a PCMCIA RS-232 card.

Using a converter I have heard of some circumstances where it looks like the download is working but it takes lots of time but in actual fact no data is downloaded to the plate.

A normal download is 1-2 minutes so I suggest your friend is also experienceing problems.

 

Thanks for the advise.
Will use PCMCIA RS-232 card try and see how is the download.

Any other advise that anyone can offer me....

 

I use the quatech SSP-100 PCMCIA RS232 card for developing Circa so that is a safe bet. http://www.quatech.com/catalog/rs232_pcmcia.php
