The ACUTA is shipped with firmware installed. You may however wish to install new or
upgraded editions of the firmware. Ask your vendor about the latest firmware edition or refer
to the website www.accusys.com.tw
Once new or updated firmware has been obtained, it can be downloaded to ACUTA from a
host PC with third party communication software, such as HyperTerminal, that supports ANSI
terminal emulation. Other terminal programs may be used in place of HyperTerminal to
communicate with ACUTA. However, the setup process for other terminal software may differ
from that outlined in this chapter.
1. Ensure ACUTA is turned off.
2. Connect one end of the supplied RS-232
cable to the RS-232 port on the rear of
ACUTA and connect the other end to one
of the host computer's COM ports.
