Meter Software Upgrade Procedure
The software upgrade program for Orion Star A200 series and Orion A300 series meters has
been tested with Microsoft Windows 7, XP and Vista operating systems only. We are always
working to update our programs; however, the software update program has not been tested
with any other operating systems at this time.
All computer screen savers and power management settings should be disabled when the
meter is interfaced with the computer. The computer must not go into sleep/standby mode while
the software update is performed. Many laptop computers go into sleep/standby mode when
the lid is closed, so the lid should remain open throughout the software update. Laptop
computers must also be plugged into a power supply when running the software update,
performing the software update while the computer is on battery power is not recommended.
Note: Back up any stored meter data before upgrading the meter software.
