Downloading a Software Update, Managing Report Data

If you require an updated test instrument software, it can be downloaded 
with the help of WinProfi* PC software. The data file with the desired soft-
ware version is transmitted to the test instrument via the serial interface. 
The previously installed language is overwritten.

Note

This software includes all of the functions required for communica-
tions between the PRO
