Initial PowerSDR Configuration
Before operating the FLEX-5000 several PowerSDR parameters need to be configured. To do so, start
up PowerSDR to open the Front Console, but
do not
yet click on the
Start
button.
Note:
From time to time the FLEX-5000 firmware may need to be updated.
If PowerSDR detects an incompatible version of the firmware, it will
display an error message similar to that shown in Figure 26 below.
Figure 26: FLEX-5000 Firmware Version Error
Click
OK
and if a Driver Error message follows, click
OK
again.
PowerSDR will start up, but the
Start
button will be grayed out. Close
PowerSDR and refer to the procedure described in Appendix B to
update your firmware.
Transfer of Calibration Data
PowerSDR will need to transfer your radio's calibration data from its EEPROM to the new database. In
this case you will see the message shown in Figure 27.
Figure 27: Calibration Data Transfer Message
Click the OK button to start the transfer of calibration data. You will see the progress indicator shown in
Figure 28. When the transfer is complete, PowerSDR will complete starting up.
