Appendix - Troubleshooting

• Click on OK.

• Switch VIBXPERT off and on again.

The update tool subsequently contacts VIBXPERT and starts
transfer of the basic firmware. The progress of the data transfer is
shown in the right pane: 'Transferring data X%'

• Then it is only necessary to load the firmware: To do this, follow

the instructions on Page 2-37.
