Xmodem Download of Firmware

You can download firmware from your PC to the probe via Xmodem by using the following procedure:

1.Access the HyperTerminal Windows 95 application or a similar communications program which supports Xmodem file transfer.

2.Connect your PC to the probe’s RS-232 connector using a null modem cable. Refer to Appendix A “Cables and Connectors” for more information on cables.

3.Configure the terminal emulator for 8 bits/character, 1 stop bit, no parity, no flow control, and a baud rate of 9600.

4.Connect the power cord to the probe and to a power source (either 100-120/ VAC or 220-240/VAC). The probe does not have a power switch, but is turned on by connecting power.

5.Start the configuration by quickly pressing the CONFIG button on the back of the probe one time only. After about 10 seconds, the probe displays its Main Menu on the terminal, as shown in Figure 6-5.
