     Load, Save and upload Humax 5400Z+ firmware.
Humax 5400 System ID check to avoid loading wrong firmware into

     Place the new "firmwaredatabase.zip" in the HumaxTOOLit installation 
     directory and the next time you start HumaxTOOLit it will imported 
     automaticly. (Thanks to Nostromo and CrazySat)

System ID editor to change the System ID in your Humax 5400


Installation:

Unpack HumaxTOOLit-*.*.tar.gz somewhere in your Home directory.
Browse to the HumaxTOOLit directory.
Start humaxtoolit in that directory.
The first time you start humaxtoolit or when you upgrading HumaxTOOLit
a message box with the text "Examening your System..." will be shown.
HumaxTOOLit is now searching for it's installation directory.
This may take a while.
After that the Serial Ports are scanned for a connected Humax 5400.
Make sure you have your Humax 5400 connected and turned on.
When the Humax 5400 is found, the message "Humax 5400 Found at /dev/ttySx"
is shown.
Otherwise the message "Humax 5400 not Found." is shown.
A configuration File "humaxtoolit.rc" is written to ~/.humaxtools.
Now a Desktop icon is placed on your Desktop to start HumaTOOLit with.
When no connected Humax 5400 was found the Serial Port is set to "none".
When connecting a Humax 5400 later, you should set Serial Port to the
port you connected the Humax 5400 to, i.e. "/dev/ttyS0"
You can adjust the preferences at your needs and save them.
HumaxTOOLit is now ready for use.
