2.3 Upgrading the MEMORY HiLOGGER Software
______________________________________________________________________________________________
NOTE
During the upgrade operation, do not turn off the MEMORY HiLOGGER's power.
If the power is turned off during the upgrade operation, the instrument must be
returned for repair.
2.3 Upgrading the MEMORY HiLOGGER Software
To use the 9334 LOGGER COMMUNICATOR, the software in the
MEMORY HiLOGGER must be 9334 compatible. First check the
MEMORY HiLOGGER software version number; you can find it on the
System screen of the MEMORY HiLOGGER.
9334-compatible versions are Ver 1.01 or later (8420-01, 8421-01), Ver 1.00
or later (8422-01), or Ver 3.00 or later (8420-51, 8421-51, 8422-51). When
the MEMORY HiLOGGER software is not compatible with a 9334, upgrade
it.
1. Prepare a PC card (Flash ATA card) that has been certified for use with
MEMORY HiLOGGERs. For PC cards whose use is certified for these
devices, refer to the MEMORY HiLOGGER Operating Instructions.
Further, make sure that the PC card is compatible with the computer you
are using. At least 2 MB of free space is required when using a PC card.
2. Insert the supplied CD-R disc into the CD-ROM drive.
3. Copy the upgrade file from the CD-R to the PC card. The upgrade files
are located in each model's folder. The upgrade file for the 8420-01 and
8421-01 is "8420V110.PRG" (located in the 8420V110 folder). The
upgrade file for the 8422-01 is "8422V105.PRG" (located in the
8422V105 folder). The upgrade file for the 8420-51, 8421-51, and 8422-
51 is "8420V307.PRG" (located in the 8420-50V307 folder).
If a 9334-compatible version of the MEMORY HiLOGGER software is
already present, no upgrade is required. However, be careful not to install
an older version inadvertently.
4. Prepare the MEMORY HiLOGGER for the upgrade. Ensure that a stable
power supply for the upgrade operation is used, if possible using an
uninterruptible power supply. This is important, because if the power fails
during the upgrade operation, the instrument must be returned for repair.
5. Carry out the upgrade.
Insert the PC card into the MEMORY HiLOGGER and press the
Card
key
to display the File screen. The upgrade files on the PC card are shown in
the File screen. Select an upgrade file, then read the file. The MEMORY
HiLOGGER starts the upgrade. This process takes about 2 minutes:
During this interval, simply wait for the process to finish. When the
upgrade is completed, the MEMORY HiLOGGER automatically restarts.
The upgrade is then complete.
