The new PAL Loader software version 2.1.0 (or later) is backwards compatible. The software
can be used for all PAL Firmware levels.
The name of the .exe file has been changed intentionally to avoid conflicts when old and new
versions are installed on the same computer:
PAL Loader version 1.1.1: PALLOAD.exe
PAL Firmware level up to and including 3.x.x
PAL Loader version 2.1.x: Setup PALloader.exe
PAL Firmware level as of 4.1.x or later
but backwards compatible with earlier versions.
The following features, new since version 1.1.1, are available in the new PAL Loader software:
• The installation software is executable directly from a CD-ROM or any transportable
storage device, such as a memory stick.
• The software installation procedure is different from that of Loader version 1.1.1. If they
do not already exist, directories are created in the Microsoft User Profile.
• The read/write speed for a file is significantly higher. The initial COM Port settings, such
as the baud rate, are identical to previous versions. The baud rate is adjusted dynamically
during program startup and is displayed on the status line, in the lower right corner of the
application window.
• You can create multiple shortcuts and for each one assign a dedicated IP or COM address.
This setup facilitates the handling of a number of PAL Systems from a single computer.
This section contains information about installing the PAL Loader software.
PAL Loader software version 2.1.x requires Windows 2000, XP, or Vista™. It does not support
earlier Windows versions, such as Windows 95, 98, or NT. If installation is necessary in this
environment, use PAL Loader version 1.1.1.
