Software
Installing New Software
There are two major components of software in your unit. These are the
operating software, and the display software. The operating software can be
downloaded via the RS-232 link from a PC COM port, using the Windows
Remote software running on the PC.
To use this, follow the installation instructions on the floppy discs the remote
software is supplied on. Then, run the remote programme, with whatever units
you want connected. The software will scan the RS-232 chain for units (this
takes a while) to see what is connected. It then reports back and for each there
is an info button. This gives you the option of installing new software in that unit.
The display software comes in an EPROM, which has to be manually installed.
The top cover has to be removed, the old EPROM on the front panel board
removed from its socket (¼ of the way from the right hand edge, looking at the
unit from the rear), and the new one installed. Make sure it is installed the right
way round!
IMPORTANT!
Disconnect from the mains before removing any covers or changing the fuse.
