10.4 Loading the application package onto your balance
After you have downloaded the application package from the Internet, before you can transfer it to your balance you must connect
the balance to the serial interface of your computer with the RS232 cable. Note: If your balance also has additional optional interfaces,
take care that the cable is always connected to the RS232C interface installed as standard !
Set the interface on the balance to the following values (you will find detailed information about these settings in Chapter 5.8): for
peripheral device select Host, then set the following communication parameters: baud rate 9600; parity 8 bit/none; handshake
none; end-of-line <CR><LF>.
Check that the corresponding communication parameters on your computer are set to the same values.
Start the e-LoaderVXXX installation program you have downloaded from the Internet (XXX represents the version number). This
program installs the e-Loader on your computer.
Follow the step-by-step instructions which guide you through the installation.
When the installation is complete, the e-Loader starts automatically. The illustration at
left shows the startup screen of the e-Loader.
Before you update the softare on your balance, you should select the dialog language
and check the settings described below.
Select the language in which you wish to be guided through the updating process. The
e-Loader will display all the instructions and infomation in the dialog language you
select.
Select the interface of the computer to which the balance is connected.
Use the Help menu to check that the communication with the balance is functioning
(in the example at left, the e-Loader is confirming that a balance is connected).
If the e-Loader indicates that no balance is connected, first check that the correct
interface has been selected and then, if necessary, that the communication settings on
the computer and on the balance are correct and identical.
