11.1 Updating the STAP firmware
Follow these steps to update your product firmware when instructed to do so by the fac-
tory or your regional technical representative:
• Download the microprocessor programming tool to your Windows-based com-
puter (this software may also have shipped on the USB stick with your product):
"Setup-Propeller-Tool-v1.3.2.exe"
• Install the microprocessor programming tool on your computer by double click-
ing on "Setup-Propeller-Tool-v1.3.2.exe".
• Connect the mini-USB port on your product to a USB port on your computer
using the supplied USB cable.
• Turn the power on to your product.
• Confirm that you have a copy of a recent data file from your product listing the
calibration coefficients (you should not need to re-enter the calibration coef-
ficients after updating the firmware but it is a good idea to have them).
• The small white program/data switch is located on the top edge of the main
board next to the SD Card slot. Move the switch from the data position to the
program position (push the switch toward the green circuit board). The firmware
will NOT update if the switch is in the wrong position.
• Run the installed microprocessor programming tool created by the software
installation: "Propeller.exe".
• Click "File->Open" and navigate to the new firmware version eeprom file "XXXX.eeprom"
supplied by BRECHTEL that has been saved to your computer.
• Open the file.
• This will bring up the "Object Info" window. Click on the "Load EEPROM" but-
ton near the bottom of the window.
