Installing FLoader
FLoader is a firmware loading program for the power board, GPS
module, and modem board inside the receiver. FLoader is available
from the TPS website (www.topconpositioning.com) or on the GPS+
CD.
Computer requirements for FLoader are: Windows® 98 or newer and
an RS-232C port or Bluetooth® wireless technology. Use FLoader
version 1.0.07 or newer to correctly configure the receiver.
To install FLoader:
1. Create an FLoader folder on the hard drive, and place the
compressed FLoader zip file (retrieved from either the website or
the GPS+ CD) in this folder.
2. Navigate to the FLoader folder, and double-click the FLoader zip
file.
3. Extract the FLoader.exe file to the FLoader folder (Figure 2-5).
4. Optionally, create a shortcut on the computer’s desktop for quick
access to FLoader (Figure 2-5).
TIP
To maintain unique Bluetooth module settings for
different purposes, keep copies of BTCONF in
separate folders.
