A2.7 Start and set up the Update Program
The update program will be started from the Windows Start menu:

Start PT8000 Update
First the program checks whether the PC's internal serial port COM 1 is
available and not already in use elsewhere.
If COM 1 is available the update program will be connected automatically
and a message box will be displayed (Fig.
A2-
2).
Click
OK to close the message box; the program's main window will be
opened (

continue with chapter A2.7.2 Select Firmware ).
If COM1 is currently not available on the PC because another application
already has access to it, an appropriate error message will be displayed
(Fig.
A2-
3).
Now it is necessary to set the COM port manually (see the following
chapter A2.7.1 ).
A2.7.1 Manual COM Port Setting
After clicking
OK in the error message box (Fig.
A2-
3), the Set COM
port window (Fig.
A2-
4) will be opened to select a different COM
port (in the background the main program window already will be
displayed).
It is advisable now to proceed in ascending order, i.e. next, select
COM port 2 by clicking COM 2 .
If there appears a message box similar to Fig.
A2-
2, then COM Port
2 is connected. Click OK to close both this box and the Set COM
port window (

continue with chapter A2.7.2 Select Firmware ).
However, if there appears a message box similar to Fig.
A2-
3 (error
message), then next, select COM port 3, etc.
If no unconnected COM port can be found, close the Set COM port
window (Fig.
A2-
4) by clicking Close .
The large button in the middle of the main window labeled NO COM
PORT indicates the missing link.
In this case stop the update program (click Exit ) and all other
applications running on the PC.
Then restart the update program and try again as described above to get a
COM port connection.
