Backing up receiver settings

The “Receiver Setup” segment of the “Firmware_Up-

grade_grStudio” program provides a means of back-

ing up the data programmed in the receiver. The

data are saved in a ﬁle on your computer, so that the

same data set can be loaded back into the receiver if

required; this avoids the need to re-program the set-

tings using the “Telemetry” menu.

It is best to call up the “Receiver Setup” application

from within the “Firmware_Upgrade_grStudio” pro-

gram, but it is also possible to start it directly: you will

ﬁnd the “Receiver_Setup.exe” ﬁle in the “Graupner_

PC-Software” folder.

Note:

If you call up “Receiver_Setup.exe” from the Firm-

ware_Upgrade program via the “Receiver Setup”

menu point, you should check that the sub-program

“Receiver_Setup.exe” is located in the same folder as

the “Firmware_Upgrade_grStudio” program!

For this program you need a USB lead together with

the USB interface, Order No. 7168.6, which is sup-

plied as standard in the radio control sets, and the

interface lead, Order No. 7168.6S.

Backing up receiver settings

1. Establishing a connection between the receiv-

er and the PC

With the receiver switched off, connect the USB

interface, Order No. 7168.6 to the receiver sock-

et marked “- + T” using the adapter lead, Order No.

The connectors are polarised; check that the small

side chamfers are correctly aligned. On no ac-

count use force; the plugs should slide easily into

the sockets.

Caution:

If you wish to use the earlier adapter lead,

Order No. 7168.6A, and it is still ﬁtted with a

three-core lead, cut through the central red

wire of the adapter lead before using it.

Connect the USB interface to the PC or laptop us-

ing the USB lead supplied (USB-A to 5-way mi-

ni-B-USB). When connected correctly, a red LED

should light up on the interface circuit board.

The receiver must remain switched off.

2. Receiver Setup: selecting the port

Start the “Firmware_Upgrade_grStudio_Ver-

X.X.exe” program by double-clicking on it, exact-

ly as described for updating the transmitter soft-

ware – see page 50. (Version 2.1, which is the

current version at the time this manual was re-

vised, starts without being previously installed.)

Open the “Controller Menu” and click on “Receiver

Setup” in the “Upgrade / Link” folder.

Alternatively select the “Receiver Setup entry” un-

der “Menu”:

A program window now appears: the ﬁrst step is

to set the “correct” COM port for the USB inter-

face, Order No. 7168.6. If you are not sure of this,

check the COM port in the “Port select” window of

the “Controller Menu” (see earlier), and note the

COM port number associated with the entry “Sil-

icon Labs CP210x USB to UART Bridge”. If eve-

rything is as described earlier, this would be the

“COM 3” port.

(If you select the wrong port, the program will in-

form you of your error.)

3. Reading out receiver data

Click on the “Connect” button and wait until the

lower Status bar starts moving:

Hold the SET button on the receiver pressed in

while you switch it on. After about three seconds

the current values stored in the receiver are dis-

played in the corresponding ﬁelds. If the progress

bar is “faster than you are”, and reaches the end

before you have switched the receiver on, the pop-

up window shown subsequent will appear.
