The program restarts with an existing setup, and AWS330 is now
ready to operate.

If you are having problems when loading software to the logger, for
example, if loading is interrupted and you get the message

Load

Error -1

, try again, with all other Windows programs closed except

Command Prompt.

Loading may be interrupted due to a corrupted bin.mot file, or due to
power save features, especially when a laptop PC is used.

Copying New AWS330 Software from CF Memory
Card

As an alternative for updating AWS330 software through the serial port
using loader.exe, you can receive a pre-programmed CF (CompactFlash)
card from Vaisala including the latest software to be copied. Each time
AWS330 starts up, the boot software checks if a new software is
available for loading on the CF card.

To copy a new software into AWS330, proceed as follows:

1

Insert the CF card received from Vaisala into the CF card slot in
the QML logger.

2.

Launch copying the new software by issuing the command
SWLOAD.

3.

The AWS330 software checks that the boot code is valid and the
CF includes Motorola's S-record at the specified address. The
firmware also checks that the CF card is formatted and that there is
a file on it named bin.mot.

4.

When the application has been copied, the QML logger restarts
automatically.

5. If

SWLOAD refuses to copy the new software, the CF card does

not include a valid software.

6.

When the new application has been restarted, take the CF card out
of the QML logger and store it for future use.
