11.1 SW Update
Before you start you will need the following:
• The file containing the new software file on your PC. This will be a file
with an “ *.abs ” extension. Depending on from where you have got the
software, it also may be in “ *.zip ” format, in which case make sure you
extract the “ *.abs ” file before attempting to download to the console.
Copy the “ *.abs ” file into a known directory on your PC, such as
“
C:\OA500 Software
”.
• A cable to connect the PC to the console. This is a standard PC RS232
serial port extension cable, i.e. 9-pin D-type, male to female. This cable
should be readily available from most computer accessories outlets.
• If you have a Mac, you will also have to obtain a 9-pin D-type to 8-pin
mini-DIN adapter for use with a PC serial cable.
Note:
For software updates, please contact your local Studer distributor.
