6. Select “Install the Device Automatically” and click Next.
7. A progress screen will appear. During this installation process the screen below will

pop up. Click “Continue Anyway.”

8. The last screen will inform you that the unit has been successfully installed. Click

“Finish.” The unit is installed and ready to use.

3.2 Updating Firmware

1.  Connect the LM-2 to your computer with the provided USB cable.
2.  Power up the LM-2.
3.  Launch LM Programmer. The LM Programmer application can be launched from

Start->Programs->LogWorks3->LM Programmer

from the Windows task bar.

4. Once connected the LM Programmer will display the current version of the

firmware that is installed in the LM-2. Do not update the firmware if the versions
are the same. A firmware update should only be necessary if there has been a
new release.

5. On the very first tab of LM Programmer you will see a button labeled “Update

Firmware,” click this button.
