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).

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.
