Using the Loader to Install new Software
All update files are .zip files and need to be decompressed before
installation. Once the files are decompressed, locate the Loader on
your computer and double-click the icon to start the program. You should
see a screen similar to the one at right.
The next step is to select the file you want to transmit to the Scan Tool.
Click on The file button and
locate the update file. You will
need to select “All Files” option
to see the file.
The next step is to configure
the communication options.
Make sure the communications
are set up as shown in this
example. Change the COM
port to match what you are
using on your computer.
At this point the file you
selected to transmit to the Scan Tool will be visible in the file window.
Press the install button.
The Loader will erase the
memory, then program
the unit. When the
“Programming Done” signal
appears on the screen,
you have successfully
reprogrammed the unit.
If a “Programming Failed” message appears, check your cables and
connection, and try again.
