Xmodem Download of Firmware

7.Press 1, 2, or 3 to select the download baud rate. You receive the following message on your PC:

Downloading to Flash: Receiving File. . .

This and all of the messages are transmitted at 9600 baud. If you selected a different baud rate, the messages will not be displayed correctly. However, the download will work correctly.

8.If you select a baud rate other than 9600, you will need to change the baud rate of your terminal emulator to match the download speed that you selected. If you are using the HyperTerminal application, select File -> Properties -> Configure. You must select the Disconnect icon followed by the Connect icon to get the baud rate changes to take effect.

9.Select Transfer and then Send File menu items from your PC’s Windows application. You will be prompted to select the file to download.

 

 

The HyperTerminal application is configured for Zmodem by default. You

 

 

need to make sure that you select Xmodem from the Send File dialog box.

 

 

 

CAUTION

If you selected a baud rate other than 9600, the message following the successful

 

 

download will not be displayed correctly. In this case, wait approximately 2

 

 

minutes before power cycling the probe to ensure that the new firmware is written

 

 

to FLASH memory correctly.

 

 

If your download was not successful, it is recommended that you repeat the

 

 

process using 9600 baud so that all error message will be displayed correctly.

 

 

After the download process is complete, the probe reboots and starts running the

 

 

 

 

new firmware.

 

 

If an error occurs during the download process, the probe returns to the Main

 

 

Menu without storing the new firmware to memory.
