Updating Embedded Firmware
The BE2000E uses non-volatile flash memory for storing its embedded firmware (operating program) and
can be reprogrammed by connecting the RS-232 port, located on the on the back of the device, to a
Windows
® compatible PC running the Embedded Program Loader software. It is not necessary to
physically replace EPROM chips to update the program.
The process of updating the embedded firmware can be started by clicking BE2000ELoad on the menu
bar and clicking Uploading Embedded Software. A warning window, Figure 40, will be displayed. The
BE2000E should be disconnected from the generator and bus before continuing with this procedure and
the current settings file should be backed up since uploading may replace some settings with defaults.
Clicking No will cancel this procedure.
