Upgrading the Embedded Software
To upgrade the CD/PMD Analyzer Source embedded software, you will
need to obtain the upgrade files from EXFO’s Technical Support Group. You
will also need a null-modem cable.
To upgrade the embedded software:
1. Turn off the CD/PMD Analyzer Source.
2. Connect a null-modem cable to the CD/PMD Analyzer Source RS-232
port and to an unused serial communication port on your computer.
3. On your computer’s hard disk, create a folder named “Test” (C:\Test).
4. Unzip or copy the upgrade files into the newly created folder.
5. If the software upgrade is performed under Windows 98, you must
restart your computer in DOS mode before starting the upgrade
program. In other cases, simply exit to DOS.
6. Go to the “C:\Test” folder and start the upgrade program by typing the
following line (spaces are required between parameters):
Lo0006.exe /C:2 /F:c:\test\filename.hex /S:19200
Parameters can be decoded as follows:
³
/C: serial port number (COM2 in the above example)
³
/F: file to copy on your unit (replace “filename” with the actual
name of the .hex file on your hard disk)
³
/S: computer-to-unit transfer speed (if “19200” does not work, try
“56700”)

You may upgrade software under DOS, Windows 3.1, Windows 9x,
or Windows 2000. With some notebook computers, you may need
to be under a DOS environment. If problems occur, contact EXFO.
