Installation:
1999
Customers who purchased the QV400D (formerly known as iQbox) before October 1998 and want to
program ISD4002, ISD4003, ISD4004 and ISD5008 series chips must purchase the firmware upgrade
kit QV400D-UPG.
Quadravox has released a new version of the QV400D firmware (rev: K) to replace the old iQbox
firmware (rev: J), and a new software package QV400S (QV400S1 for Windows 95 and later,
QV400S0 for Windows 3.11) to replace the iQbox software.
This new firmware / software combination now allows the user to program any ISD ChipCorder
Device currently released (Socket adapters are required for the ISD5008, ISD1500 and ISD1600
series).
You may also have ordered various socket adapters
The QV400S software can coexist with the old iQbox software. Their project formats are slightly
different, but it is possible to import an existing iQbox project into QV400S. Note that the first time
you run QV400S, the system will ask you to enter the "carrier frequency" value into the system. This
value can be obtained from the iqbox.ini file in your Windows directory. It is the first number after
pre_freq= in the [STEREO] section of iqbox.ini. Alternately, this value can be read by running the
iQbox software and invoking the Options/Advanced Parameters Setting menu. The value is on the
line marked "frequency", and is typically between 14500 and 16500. This value should also be
present in your original invoice.
Improvements over iQbox software :
1 floppy disk, containing all QV400S software
1 Microchip PIC16C57 chip with revision K firmware.
