Add or upgrade the programs in the analyzer

 

Prerequisites

  • Ensure the same connection type is set on the analyzer and in Data Transfer. The Ethernet and Wireless options may require additional setup to connect to the desired computer. See the Ethernet and Wireless sections and your IT group for more information.
  • Update the firmware, if an update is available. You may see an error message if you try to update or add programs before the firmware is updated.

Overview

You can add or upgrade multiple programs at one time.

Procedure

  1. Copy the new programs to a folder on your computer.
  2. Use the appropriate cable to connect your analyzer to a computer where AMS Machinery Manager is installed, if you are using a wired connection.
  3. On the computer, open Data Transfer.
  4. In the Options pane, set the Key Table and Firmware fields to the firmware folder you created in step 1.
    1. Click the Options icon.

You should follow the procedure in your user's manual for loading new base firmware before you load any new programs". The analyzer will not open any programs until you update the firmware. The analyzer may prompt you to update the firmware after you load or update the programs.
