Software Update (Antenna Software)
It is possible to update the software of the integrated interpreters via the serial inter-
face using a portable PC. Following switching-on, the integrated download unit will
check for approx. 10 seconds whether a download is to be carried out. In case a
download is not generated, the unit will return to the normal operating program.
Data received during this period of 10 seconds are examined for their validity.
NOTE!
Only the update program described below may be used for the
software update!

Installation of the Program for Software Update
The program for the antenna software update is a 32-bit application for Microsoft®
Windows®. Upon request, this program is available either on disc (described in the
following paragraphs) or sent by email. Please address your requests to the email,
phone, fax or mailing address given on the cover of this manual.
It is not necessary to install this program. It is sufficient to copy it onto the hard disc of
your PC and execute it there. Follow these steps:
1.
Insert the CD into the CD drive of the PC
2.
Open Windows Explorer and navigate to the CD
3.
Copy the directory ST-Flash including all sub-directories and files onto your hard

When using Windows-Versions prior to Windows XP, it is now necessary to deac-
tivate the writing protection for the two setting files. To do so, navigate to the
newly created directory Programs\ST-Flash and mark the files

Proceeding the Software Update
While the software update is carried out, no other programs may occupy the used se-
rial interface (COM-Port). Thus, terminate any such connections in your Terminal pro-
gram (e. g. Hyperterm).
Connect the antenna with your PC. For antenna variants with RS422 interface
(HG 98780ZA/XA) it is essential to use an appropriate interface converter (not includ-
ed in the antenna scope of supply; refer to the note on the top of page 25). Start the
update program on your PC as described in section 5.3.1 on page 38.
