DAC-2202 Antenna Control Unit Diagnostic M&C Software Installation & Use
7-19
Programming Operation: PCU Software Upload
Power on ACU and Antenna.
From the CommPort menu, select the correct
ProgTerm programming mode and destination. I.E.
for a DAC2200 / 2202 /2302 to PCU, click the ‘DAC
2K to PCU’ menu item. It is very important to be sure
that you have selected the correct programming
mode (DAC-03, DAC-2200, Coastal or Direct) and the
correct destination (ACU, PCU or DVB). If you select
the incorrect destination and actively override the
self-check warnings, you will most certainly render
your system inoperable
Check the status bar at the bottom edge of the
ProgTerm window. It displays the selected serial
interface (baud rate and port), the operating mode
(DAC Style), and program destination (ACU, PCU, or
DVB).
Verify the LED on the right side of the program is
GREEN indicating the port is open and functional.
Click on the LED or select Port Open from the Comm
Port menu to change the active state of the port and
the LED.
Click on the Paper Clip button and then click on
the EyeBall button in the tool bar. These query
the PCU for Module Status and Module Version. The
responses will be the Status and Version of the PCU
which the ACU is connected to (such as “3004 VER
2.xxL”). Both of these data requests must function
properly before you can continue.
If the PCU does not respond to a status request (Paper Clip button), the module may have been erased by a
previous action. It can still be programmed but you need to reboot the loader by typing “S9<enter>”
Click on the “AUTO UPLOAD” button.
