ChadEdit User Guide

How do I download a configuration into my USR-5?

1. Start ChadEdit.

2. Connect one end of the USR-5 serial cable to your USR-5 and connect

the other end to a serial port of your PC.

3. Make sure you have a configuration in ChadEdit either by uploading one

from your USR-5 (see 

How do I upload a configuration from my USR-

5?

) or by loading one from a file (see 

How do I load a configuration

from a CCF into ChadEdit?

).

4. Click on 

 in the toolbar, or select 

Download into USR-5

 from the 

File

menu.

5. ChadEdit generates the configuration. If the resulting configuration does

not fit in your USR-5’s available memory, ChadEdit will tell you it is too
large and cancel the download. Based on how oversized the configuration
is (ChadEdit displays this information both in absolute and relative terms)
you should delete some elements and try again.

6. ChadEdit now tries to connect to your USR-5. If ChadEdit cannot connect

to your USR-5, it will display a message saying 

USR-5 not connected or

not responding

. You can click on the 

Details >>

 button to open a window

listing all the serial ports on your PC.

If another application is using the serial port to which your USR-5 is
connected you can either try another serial port or have the other
application release the serial port.

If ChadEdit could open the serial port to which your USR-5 is connected
but still could not connect, check to see if both ends of the cable are
properly inserted and if USR-5’s batteries have not run out. Then wait a
few seconds and try again. If after a number of tries ChadEdit still cannot
connect, try resetting your USR-5, wait until it beeps twice and try again.

7. After connecting to your USR-5, ChadEdit will check the configuration in

your USR-5.

If your USR-5 does not contain a valid configuration, ChadEdit will display
a message saying 

Failed to get valid information from USR-5, do

you want to overwrite any configuration currently in USR-5?

. Click

No

 or 

Cancel

 if you don’t want to overwrite the configuration in your

USR-5. Click 

Yes

 to continue downloading.

If your USR-5 contains a modified configuration, ChadEdit will display
a message with the creation date and time of this configuration, and
ask you if you want to overwrite it. Click 

No

 or 

Cancel

 if you don’t want

to overwrite the configuration in your USR-5. Click 

Yes

 to continue

downloading.
