MTS 5200 FAQ’S
Loading The Software On The MTS 5200
Something that may occur during the use of your lab scope is that the screen may not appear as
it should. It may appear that some of the displays and menus have become jumbled up and not
readable. This can occur when the battery goes dead and the scope closes down abruptly during
use.
To fix this you need to reload the software. This is easily done from the discs that were supplied
to you when you purchased your lab scope. If you do not have the discs, feel free to get in touch
with the customer service department at BOSCH and they will be happy to make arrangements
to get a disc to you.
Once you have loaded the disc into the drive, open the drive folder and double click on the
“Menuapp_5200.exe” file and follow the prompts on the screen. This process will take 30 - 45
minutes to complete and will restore the unit to its original factory settings.
SFP Software Access - Website
Now that you have downloaded and installed Shop Foreman Pro to your PC, you need to connect
the PC to the MTS 5200. Other than the PC and the MTS 5200 you are going to need what is
called a “crossover cable”. A crossover cable is a CAT 5 cable that is different from what is
commonly known as a “straight” cable. Be advised, a straight cable will not work for this. You
must use a CAT 5 Crossover cable.
First you need to connect the crossover cable to the
Local Area Network (LAN) port on the MTS 5200
located on the bottom of the tool and to the right as
shown in the screen capture to the left.
