The  “6600”  icon  should  appear.    If  it  does  not  appear  then  you  will  need  to  repeat 
steps 1 and 2 above. 

 

 
 
4.4  DOWNLOADING PROFILES

 

 
1. 

Connect the one-to-one RS232 cable to the RS232 port on the 6600.  You will need to 
remove  the  access  panel  for  this.    Connect  the  other  end of this cable to the COM1 
port on your PC. 

 

2. 

Turn on the 6600 and select Function 5, Set Profiles.  The following screen appears.  

 

                                     PROFILE  SETUP 
              Please stay in this screen and download 
             One or more profiles through the RS232 
              interface.   On completion press  “GO”. 

 

 

 

 

 

 
Stay  in  this  screen  until  all  profiles  you  would  like  to  download  have  been 
downloaded. 

 
3. 

Start the 6600 file in Hyperterminal.  On the task bar select “Transfer”.  Then select 
“Send 

Text

 file”.  The dialog box will open that allows you to select the .txt file you 

want to transfer.  Open this file.  You will see the profile being downloaded as it is 
echoed back from the 6600. 

 
4. 

After the profile has completed downloading, the last section should say “PASS”.  If 
it does not then the profile did not download correctly.  If no characters are echoed 
when  you  open  the .txt file to download then you probably have a communication 
problem. 

 
5. 

If you see “garbage” on the first line of the profile as it downloads then you should 
redo the download.  This could happen on some systems on the very first profile you 
download during a session in Hyperterminal. 

 
6. 

To download more profiles in the same session simply repeat step 3 from the point 
you select “Transfer”.  After all profiles you wish to download have been transferred, 
press GO on the 6600.  Check that the profile loaded properly by selecting Function 4 
on  the  6600  and  entering  the  profile  number  starting  at  step  1  (i.e.  “18.1”  to  check 
profile 18).  Step through the profile using only ENTER and check if the points match 
what you have setup on the PC as your profile.
