This command is only valid in binary mode.

This command is used to upload data to the receiver for the SoftLoad process. Refer to Updating Using SoftLoad Commands for more information about the SoftLoad process.

After each SOFTLOADDATA command, the user must wait for the OK or ERROR command response before proceeding. This response is guaranteed to be output from the receiver within 15 seconds from the time the command was received by the receiver. If an error response is returned, consult the SOFTLOADSTATUS log for more detail.

This command can only be sent to the receiver after the SOFTLOADSREC command or SOFTLOADSETUP command have sent the content of the S0 records from the start of a firmware *.shex file. In these cases, the SOFTLOADSTATUS log reports READY_FOR_SETUP or READY_FOR_DATA.
