Procedure
In order to upgrade the MMI software, observe the following
procedure.
1 Switch off the PI54.
2 Connect the upload cable between a serial line connector
on the computer and the NMEA2 connector on the rear
side of the PI54 Operator Unit.
3 On your computer, locate the MMI software upgrade file
(on .zip format).
4 Unpack the file to a chosen directory on your harddisk.
- Microsoftt XPt supports the zip format, and will
open the file in a new folder. If you run older operating
systems, you will need the WinZip utility available
from www.winzip.com.
5 Allow the installation files to unpack to the chosen
directory.
6 Click the Start button at the lower left corner of your
computer display, and select Run.
7 Go to the directory you unpacked the installation files to
(Step 7), and select upload.exe in the Upload
subdirectory. Click Ok.
8 Switch on the PI54.
- The upload program will automatically detect which
serial line port (COM port) you have connected the
upload cable to, and that a PI54 cabinet is connected.
- The upload program will further check your current
software version. If the current MMI software on your
PI54 Operator Unit is newer than the version you
attempt to install, it will inform you of this.
- Finally, the upload program will start the data transfer.
- The transfer progress can be monitored in the message
field.
9 Allow the transfer process to complete.
10 Switch off the PI54 Operator Unit.
11 Disconnect the upload cable.
12 Switch on the PI54 Operator Unit.
