Appendix M. Loading Application Software

Customer-installable software updates are supplied to the customer on floppy disks.
Currently, the software consists of four diskettes. These four diskettes are referred to as
the application system software, or simply the system software.
The system software consists of several other different software revisions, all of which
(except the installation software) get loaded into the instrument during the software
installation process. The system software consists of the following:
Installation software
C
Operating system software — loads onto the hard disk drive
C
Language software — loads onto the hard disk drive
C
CPU (boot) software — loads onto the hard disk drive
C
Motor Driver software — loads into the flash IC on the Motor Driver PCB
C
To view the revision levels of each software, refer to Appendix J, System Screens and
Logs.
In service situations where the hard disk is being replaced, or the service engineer
suspects possible corruption of the system software on the hard disk, the system software
can be reloaded onto the hard disk using the latest system software floppy disks.
Loading System Software:
1) Switch the instrument power to OFF .
2) Insert the 3.5" HFA II - i Series System Software floppy diskette labeled #1 into the
floppy disk drive. The current software requires four diskettes. Future software
versions may require more.
