4 When the Cs appear, select Send File from the Transfer list (not shown). The Send File dialog box opens.
5 Click the browse button and locate the new firmware file (similar to “W_t006.bin”), select the 1K Xmodem protocol, then click Send. The Xmodem file send screen opens.
Important Make sure that the protocol “1K Xmodem” is selected. The “1K Xmodem” protocol is preferred because of its superior error detection (CRC vs. checksum).
From the Send screen you can monitor the progress. You can safely stop the transfer without affecting your existing firmware any time during the transfer until it has been completed. The upload does not overwrite the firmware during the upload process. It writes the new code into RAM until completed, then copies the new firmware code to the EEPROM after verification.
