After installing the TriCoder Utilities (see Chapter 3, Non
Portable Mode for installation instructions) run the program by
clicking on the TriCoder Utilities program icon. If you are
connected via USB, the TriCoder Utilities will sense it and no
other configuration is required.
To upload your data, click on the TriCoder Upload tab, then click
on the Data files folder under the TriCoder and choose the file
you want to upload. You must then choose the folder on the right
side of the screen that you want the data file to be saved in. Once
you have chosen each, click the arrow button in the center to
transfer the file. After you have uploaded the file, you can rename
it or leave it as is.
Serial Upload
If you selected a COM port for serial uploading: (not USB)
•
Make sure the serial port is configured the same as the TriCoder
defaults - baud 9600, parity none, data bits 8, stop bits 1. Verify
that you are choosing the correct COM port 1, 2, 3 or 4. For the
purposes of the tutorial, we assume you have tested the TriCoder
communications in NON PORTABLE mode. If you have not, go to
Chapter 3; Non Portable Mode, establish communications in NON
PORTABLE mode, and then continue with the tutorial.

Click on the TRICODER UPLOAD tab. Choose Data File as the
"File Type", then enter the name (and directory path if needed) of the
file you want to upload to or click Browse to select an existing file. If
you upload to an existing file, you will be asked whether you want to
Add to the file (will not overwrite existing data in file) or Replace the
file (will completely replace the old file with the new data).
