My original goal was to copy data from DS1225Y with internal battery to FM1608. I simply read the data from DS1225Y, saved to a file, installed FM1608 then opened the file from the DS1225Y and wrote it to the FM1608. All went well and the FM1608 was installed in the Tektronix 2465B and it works. The article that I read says you can edit some unused bytes on the eprom to put some ASCII text in an unused section. I tried editing a saved hex data file and opening that but the buffer gets filled with all FF's for the whole address. How do I edit the contents of an address in the buffer to add some ASCII text to an address not used by the equipment

What editor did you use?
I used WordPad from Windows 7. However I have since figured out that I can use a text to hex converter and then copy and paste directly into the GQ-4x4 buffer and see the text displayed in the ASCII column. Problem now is if I try to write to the Eprom it fails with an error. Maybe because of verify.

I think I have this thing figured out. To insert text at a certain address, you can use the text to hex converter then copy the hex into the GQ-4x4 buffer......then erase the eprom then write the buffer into the eprom.
How do I edit a byte or bytes in the Buffer.
