The IT-088 offers the capability to update its software without use of any additional
equipment. We go on with development of the Analyzer and keep on working out new
software versions that provide new features. These new software versions come available
for free download on our website
www.planar.chel.ru
in the section that describes IT-088.
Each version of the software has its unique identification number, e.g. 8.0.0.2. The
software version is displayed in identification data readout mode (see section 4.7).
To update your software, proceed as follows:
a) connect your IT-088 to the serial port of the PC by means of a regular cable;
b) create on your PC a new folder, e.g.
«ItUpdate» . Copy «SoftLoader» installer-
program into this folder from our website (this program is also available on the CD
supplied with the Analyzer). The
«SoftLoader» requires Windows98, Windows2000 or
WindowsXP operation system. The «SoftLoader» provides communication with the
Analyzer and downloads the new software onto it;
