Regular ContributorHi,
I am able to observed that the hex file be used on Quartus. You should be able to observed the below message when you are compiling your design.

New ContributorMany thanks for your reply JohnT.
The response you quote makes some sense.
Indeed the memory width required is 16bits x 512 locations and is what I want.
The zip file in my last post is that resulting from the 'File' process and possibly should have contained 2 bytes per line if correctly formatted ( and I'm guessing here - Address should be by word? -I could generate that by other means if required)
The data I generated it from was in 16bit tab separated format but the result was as shown.
I don't think I had an option for anything other than 16 bit when I generated that file but subsequent attempts have shown an 8 bit option (after the program has been shut down and re-opened).
(I would have expected something like the warnings you saw from the wizard when generating the 41k file and not have to wait until compilation - I saw nothing AFIK)
I will pursue this further as soon as I can (~2days)
Many thanks
Phil
