Appendix: Firmware Update

General

The program "Firmware Update 350i" enables you to update the firm-
ware of the Multi 350i handheld instrument to the latest version using a 
PC. To do so, you need a free serial (COM) port on your PC and the 
AK 340/B interface cable (contained in the scope of delivery of the 
Multi 350i).

Program installation

Together with the program "Multi350i_Vx_yy_English.exe", you install 
the firmware update program on your PC.

Program start

Execute the program "Update350i" via the Windows start menu. The 
program automatically selects the first free serial (COM) port. The sel-
ected port is displayed on the left-hand side of the status bar at the bot-
tom edge of the window.

Via the Language menu, you can change the language.

Firmware update

Gehen Sie wie folgt vor:

After switching Off/On you can check whether the new software version 
was taken over in the start display of the instrument.

1

Using the AK 340/B interface cable, connect the Multi 350i to 
be programmed to the serial (COM) port displayed in the status 
bar.

2

Make sure the Multi 350i is switched on.

3

Click the OK button to start the update process.

4

Proceed by following the instructions of the program.
During the programming process, a corresponding message 
and a continuation display (in %) are displayed.
The programming process takes about 4 minutes. After suc-
cessful programming, a final message appears. The pro-
gramming process is finished now.

5

Disconnect the instrument from the PC. 
The instrument is ready for operation.
