Directions to Wire Direct PC Connection for firmware update
Like all microprocessor based instruments, it may be necessary to upload firmware
revisions to IOEM/REM instruments. Download new firmware using the Firmware
Updater utility in AquaManager. A serial RS232 connection is necessary to run the
Flash Programmer utility.
WARNING: Disconnect external power to the unit before wiring
.
AVERTISSEMENT : déconnectez l’alimentation externe de l’unité avant
d’effectuer un câblage quelconque.
1.
Perform steps 1- 6 of IOEM and REM installation as required for the
application;
2.
3.
With front panel open connect RS232 direct connect cable to location
E
IOEM and
F
REM. RS232 cable is disconnected after firmware update,
so with wiring removed, after firmware update, RS232 communication
cable does not interfer with front panel closure.
Notes:
-
When using a USB-Serial Adapter, verify that the port number assigned
during driver installation is the same port configured at AquaManager
Firmware Updater utility.
-
Use only a Tripp-Lite Keyspan USB-Serial Adapter, model USA-19HS
YSI p/n
773
(64-bit).
-
The instrument firmware may get corrupted if any of the following occurs
during a firmware update: a) Firmware Updater window utility is closed,
b) AquaManager is closed c) RS232 cable is removed from IOEM/REM
or PC com port, d) power is disconnected from IOEM/REM. If IOEM/
REM firmware becomes corrupt and is not updated properly, it may be
necessary to return the instrument to YSI
.
4.
Confirm latest version of AquaManager is installed on PC - page 81.
When an AquaManager patch has been installed and if new firmware is
available,
a “Firmware Update is Available” message is displayed when
the IOEM/REM Systems Management expanded window is open at
AquaManager.
Installation and Wiring
5.
Upload new firmware using AquaManager. From the AquaManager Ex-
plorer window, access the Flash Programmer utility from AquaManager
pull down menu: Tools→ Instrument tools→Update Firmware.
Firmware
updater window opens.
6.
At Firmware Updater window File>Load Firmware Database default data-
base firmware folder opens. Select latest firmware .mdb file to be uploaded
to instrument(s). Once selected, Database file is displayed at File window.
Notes:
-
Firmware Database file contains latest 5X00 and IOEM/REM instrument
firmware. 5X00 and IOEM/REM instruments automatically upload proper
firmware for specific instrument type;
-
YSI .mdb firmware files are located in Program Files (folder where
AquaManager is installed on user PC)>AquaManager>Firmware folder.
