Other Downloads – Calibration/System Settings Data
These settings discussed here are described in the System set up section of the manual.
Some users choose to store those settings by downloading them to a PC for use in the event of a
desire to use them in multiple trucks or to allow a fast re-set of a controller that has been repaired.
To download these settings and store them:
a) Plug the standard male to female serial PC cable from your computer to the system serial port:
located on the side of the backpack case. If your PC has a USB connection and not a serial port,
insert a USB to Serial adaptor (Belkin FSU 409 or equivalent) between your PC and the serial
connection.
b) Start the SPRDUTIL.EXE utility. The utility will report “waiting for connection” in the red
bar. If the COM port does not open, SPRDUTIL will report the error in the red bar. To correct
error, check Com port number setting on SPRDUTIL Utility and make sure that no device on
your PC is using that same number COM port (such as a Palm Pilot etc). Turn off any device
using COM port. Re-start SPRDUTIL utility and verify that PC is “waiting for a connection.”
c) Cycle the power on the spreader system. Both the TX and RX lights on the application
should blink momentarily, and the bar should go from red to green, and indicate
"SpreadSmart Rx (or Stingray) PC Interface". The "Retrieve Calibration" button should
now be selectable.
d) Press the “Retrieve Calibration" button on SPRDUTIL.EXE, and when the “Save As” dialog
box appears, name the file and choose the location you wish to save it to on your PC. Then select
“save.” The download is very quick and the progress bar is not used. Verify that the file has
been saved in the location you chose.
e) When you have verified the location of the file, close the SPRDUTIL.EXE by clicking on the x
in the corner.
To Upload (Restore or Send) Calibration/Settings Data
: follow the above instructions
through (c) and then:
d) Press the “Send Calibration" button on SPRDUTIL.EXE, the file is automatically transferred
to the
SpreadSmart Rx
TM
.
e) Power down and up on the
SpreadSmart Rx
TM
A correctly transferred calibration file will
allow you to run in Automatic mode (no line through it). No other indication shows a completed
transaction
.
