46 920i Installation Manual
5.5 Connecting to the Indicator
Connect the PC serial port to port 2 of the 920i . Return
to the Hardware ConÞguration display, then click on
the
Connect icon in the toolbar. iRev attempts to
establish communications to the indicator.
Once communications is established, iRev queries the
indicator conÞguration to determine whether the
indicator hardware matches the virtual hardware
conÞgured in the current
iRev Þle. If the hardware
matches, the Hardware ConÞguration section of iRev
is disabled, preventing further changes.
If the hardware does not match, you are given the
option of either canceling the connect operation or
overwriting the
iRev hardware conÞguration with the
actual indicator hardware conÞguration.
5.5.1 Downloading to the Indicator
The Download Configuration function on the iRev
Communications menu allows an iRev conÞguration
Þle (with or without scale calibration data), setpoint
data, widgets, database tables, or an
iRite program Þle
to be downloaded to a connected indicator in setup
mode.
The Download Current Display function on the
Communications menu allows you to download only
the currently displayed object, such as the parameter
set for one scale of a multi-scale conÞguration.
Because less data is transferred using Download
Current Display , it is typically faster than a full
conÞguration download, but there is an increased
possibility that the download may fail due to
dependencies on other objects. If the download fails,
try performing a complete download using the
Download Configuration function .
5.5.2 Uploading Configuration to iRev
The Upload Configuration function on the iRev
C o m m u n i c a t i o n s m e n u a l l o w s t h e e x i s t i n g
conÞguration of a connected indicator to be saved to a
Þle on the PC. Once saved, the conÞguration Þle
provides a backup that can be quickly restored to the
indicator if needed. Or, the Þle can be edited within
iRev , then downloaded back to the indicator.
NOTE: The indicator must be in setup mode before
uploading or downloading data.
5.6 Installing Software Upgrades
New releases of the 920i system software can be
downloaded and installed using an internet connection
and the Rice Lake Web Update application.
NOTE: Before upgrading to a new version of 920i system
software, ensure that a copy of the current indicator
conÞguration has been saved using
iRev . Reloading the
system software requires a RESETCONFIGURATION
function and resets all conÞguration and calibration values
to their factory defaults.
