SM 1150
Software upgrading
The software stored on the CPU can be upgraded to a newer
version thru the RS232 serial port provided on the unit, with
simple operation and an external PC.
To upgrade you need:
- a serial cable with 9 pin D type connectors, one male on the
equipment side, the female for the PC side. Wiring of con-
nectors must be 1:1 (pin 1 to pin 1, pin 2 to pin 2, etc.);
- the program “FlashPro32” to run under your PC: ask a copy
to Alter or download the latest version from the web site at
www.altersystem.com
- the new version of software you want to upload into the
SM1150 (a file with extension .hex: usually the latest version
is available also from our site but you have to ask whether you
may have advantage or not)
Upgrading procedure:
I) switch OFF the SM1150 - (Enable signal must be OFF)
II) connect the serial cable to PC serial port and to RS232
serial port on the SM1150
III) remove the cover
IV) find the CPU board installed on the front panel and loca-
lize the programming switch and the jumper as indicated.
Switch ON the SM1150
V) insert the jumper into the 2 pins and move the arm switch
as indicated: The CPU is ready to upload the new program into
its “flash” memory: this will cancel the existing program
VI) run the FlashPro and download from the PC the new sof-
tware: it will takes few minutes and FlashPro will advise once
completed.
VII) The CPU’s display may show random pattern: don’t care
VIII) when the procedure has been completed, remove the
jumper and place it into the original position and move back
the switch arm
IX) close the cover
X) switch ON the SM1150: one of the first messages should be
the new version number.
