4.19.2 Update by means of a PC
Requirements The following is required for the update:
z A free USB connection on the PC
z A USB cable (type A - type B)
z The SpectralTransfer program.
It is on the CD-ROM provided with the photometer.
z The ActiveSync
®
program.
It is available free of charge in the download area of Microsoft on the
Internet.
z The current photometer update file.
It is available on the Internet under http://www.WTW.com.
The update file comprises:
– the newest firmware (meter software)
– new or changed method data.
z at least 3 MB free storage on the photometer.
Note
You can view the currently available free storage on the photometer in the
Info menu.
If less free storage is available than required for the update, the update is not
possible with a PC at the moment.
You can either erase measurement data from the photometer until enough
free storage is available, or you can carry out the update by means of a USB
memory device. The free storage is required during the update only.
After a successful update, this storage is released again.
Execution The execution of the software and method update with a PC is described in
detail in the operating manual of the SpectralTransfer program. The
operating manual (pdf file) is on the CD-ROM provided with the photometer.
The update process takes approx. five minutes.
The photometer switches itself off and then on again.
