Watches & Starter Programming Procedure
1.
Update the Base before you update either the watches or the starter (see above).
2.
Perform the following steps, unless you have already done them:
a.
Download the update files from the website coloradotime.com, and note the
version number(s).
b.
Plug your Dolphin base unit into your computer using the USB cable.
c.
Open the Dolphin software.
3.
The Watches must be programmed separately from the Starter. Make sure that the
watches are off when you are programming the Starter, and that the Starter is off
when you are programming the Watches.
4.
When programming watches, make sure that all watches are set to separate
Lane/Timer combinations (i.e., two watches are not both set as Lane 3, Timer A).
5.
Make sure that the device(s) being updated are set to the same channel as the base.
6.
Enter the menu on the device(s) being programmed: Press and hold Reset and
immediately press the Start/Stop button (on the top of the starter, or either side button
on a watch). Hold them both until unit enters the menu. Release the Reset button and
then the Start/Stop button.
7.
On the computer, click on “CTS Dolphin version” in very small type at the bottom of
the page.
a.
Click Update Code for the device you are updating.
b.
Browse to the firmware file and select it. If you saved it directly to the laptop,
it will be in C:\CTSDolphin\firmware. If you saved it to a removable drive,
browse there.
c.
The update file will be named to include the device name (“STARTxxx.DSC”
for the starter, or “TIMERxxx.DTC” for the watches).
d.
Click upload.
8.
During the update process, a progress bar is displayed in the Upload Code window on
the computer, and the LCD of the Starter or Watches will also display their progress
and status. When a watch or starter is successfully updated, the unit will turn off in a
few seconds after reaching 100%. The yellow LED on the base will blink. If the LCD
on the device doesn’t display a progress screen, the update didn’t work; start the
process again, making sure to follow all of the instructions in the order described.
9.
Exit Dolphin.
10.
Disconnect and reconnect the base.
11.
Finally, restart Dolphin.
12.
Re-enter the menu on the device you programmed and verify the version number,
which is shown below the channel number.
13.
The update is complete for the type of device (watches or starter) you programmed.
14.
Repeat the Watches and Starter Programming Procedure if you need to update the
other type of device.
