Upgrading the System Software and Changing Language on the
Screen
CAUTION
Upgrading the system software and changing the language on screen
erases all system and monitoring settings. Write down these settings
so they can be re-entered after the software upgrade.
The instrument uses a program card for upgrading its system software and
changing the screen language. When the instrument detects that a program card is
inserted into its PC card slot during the booting stage after it is turned on, it checks
the program card for a system program or language. If the program card contains a
newer version of the system program or language, the instrument automatically
replaces its current system program or language information with the new one. If
the program card contains a system program whose version number is the same or
older than the one in the instrument, you have the option to replace or keep the
current system program. If the program card does not contain a system program,
the instrument continues the boot-up process.
In the system software upgrading or language changing process, the instrument
first deletes the old system software or language stored in its system ROM. Then it
checks whether the data in the system ROM is completely deleted. When the data is
completely deleted, it copies the new version of the system program or language
information from the program card to the system ROM and then checks the copy
process. After the data is successfully copied, it performs the self-check programs
to check the equipment.
Procedure
1. Write down the System Setup settings and monitoring settings of the
instrument.
2. Insert the program card into the PC card slot on the left side panel of the
instrument.
3. Turn on the instrument. The instrument performs the upgrading process and
self-check programs. The DIAGNOSTIC CHECK screen appears.
4. Confirm that the new system software version number appears.
