1.2Upgrading ST70 software

You can download ST70 software upgrades from the Raymarine web site at raymarine.com. This section

describes how to download the software upgrade files, unzip them, transfer them to a CompactFlash memory

card, then install the software in ST70. To do this, you need:

• A Raymarine SeaTalk system which includes a Raymarine E-Series Display.

• A personal computer (PC).

• A blank CompactFlash card

• A USB CompactFlash reader

Carry out the procedures in sequence for:

• Getting started.

• Downloading software upgrades.

• Unpacking the upgrade files.

• Transferring the upgrade files.

• Installing the upgrade.

System requirement

When carrying out a software upgrade, you can use either

• An existing operational SeaTalk system to which the Raymarine E-Series Display and ST70 are both con-

nected.

• A discrete SeaTalk

or SeaTalk

terminated backbone from which the Raymarine E-Series Display and

ST70 are spurred off, as in the following illustration.

Getting started

Prepare the CompactFlash for use as follows:

1. Plug the CompactFlash memory card into the CF card slot on the CompactFlash card reader. The card and

reader are keyed so the CF card will only fit in the slot one way. Ensure it is correctly oriented.

2. Connect the CompactFlash card reader to a spare USB connector on your PC.

3. Your PC will recognize the card reader as a Removable Disk, and assign it a drive letter. Your computer

may also display a window identifying the newly recognized removable disk. If such a window is displayed,

the window's title bar will specify the removable disk drive letter, e.g. Removable Disk (E:).
