5.4Updating using SoftLoad Commands

Refer to the SOFTLOADFILE command in the OEM6 Firmware Reference Manual (OM-20000129) for details.

Use SoftLoad if automated loading is required or the platform used to communicate with the receiver is not supported by WinLoad or a connection is only possible through USB.

Refer to Types of Firmware Files on page 43 for details on updating versus upgrading.

1.Open a connection to any port on the receiver (COM or USB COM port) with a user Application Programming Interface (API).

2.Request the SOFTLOADSTATUSA log using the following command:

LOG SOFTLOADSTATUSA ONCHANGED

3.Initialize SoftLoad with a SOFTLOADRESET command. This command stops all tracking on the receiver to ensure sufficient memory is available for the loading process. A RXSTATUSEVENTA log reports a SoftLoad In Progress status.
