User manual

This program is currently only available for Windows

platforms (98/ME/NT/2000/XP), however, it has been

proven possible to use NDC ActiPatch on a Mac running

Windows emulation software.

The NDC ActiPatch window consists of a Hardware

Connection Status text box, Hardware status LEDs,

Current Version (Main ID) and New Version (Patch ID)

text boxes, and the Program (Flash) control button.

The NDC hardware should be connected to the PC

communications port (RS232 or USB) and if not using

a USB connection, a battery supply is also required, as

per the instructions in the Connecting to a Personal

Computer section and Figure 3 (RS232, USB and Battery

connections diagram).

Pull-down menus

The main window has three standard pull-down menus:-

File → Program the Target:

This option will become active / selectable when a

successful connection has been made to the ‘target’

(NDC-4). The Program button is normally used to start the

reprogram operation, but this menu option can be used

instead and is included for completeness.

File → Exit:

Closes the NDC ActiPatch program.

Using the NDC ActiPatch

The Actisense NDC-4 rmware can be easily and quickly updated using the Actisense NDC ActiPatch. The program

has a simple look, as the ash update process has been completely automated for a trouble-free operation.
