Getting Started With SP Loader
SP Loader will use either a serial (RS232), Bluetooth or USB
connection to communicate with the receiver. USB is
recommended
1. Connect your computer to the SP60 using a USB
connection.
2. Run SP Loader on your computer.
3. Select the computer’s port ID used to communicate with
the receiver. This port ID should correspond to the
computer’s USB port.
NOTE: An easy way to identify which port ID on your
computer is the USB port is to run SP Loader first without
the USB connection and read the list of available ports in
SP Loader. After restoring the USB connection with the
receiver, check that list again. An extra port ID will then
be listed, being the one assigned to the USB port. Select
that port. (You don’t need to define a baud rate for a USB
port.)
4. To upgrade receiver firmware, install a new firmware
option or validate an RTX subscription, see sub-sections
below.
