Appendix B. Updating RDP500 Software
B.2.3 Send the CRBasic Program – Step 3
The RDP500 includes a CR1000 pre-programed to acquire and store
measurements. The program instructions are written using the CRBasic
programming language. The program may be updated using PC200W or
Device Configuration Utility.
Using PC200W, establish communications with the CR1000 by following
Section 5.1 (PC200W Software).
Send the program by selecting the Clock / Program tab and clicking the Send
Program button. Locate the .CR1 file and click Open.
The compact flash card (CRD drive) may need to be reinitialized after sending
a new program. If the CFM100 LED is solid orange, the card needs to be
reinitialized.
To reinitialize the card, use PC200W to launch the File Control utility.
Highlight the CRD drive and click the Format button.
Allow the format process to complete before closing File Control and
PC200W.
B.2.4 Send the CD295/DataView II Configuration – Step 4
The RDP500 includes a CD295/DataView II pre-programmed to display
current data without opening the enclosure. The CD295 configuration may
need to be updated after sending a new CRBasic program. Updates may be
applied using Device Configuration Utility.
Disconnect the CD295 from the CR1000 RS232 port.
