Updating the 6TD

The firmware of the 6TD can be updated remotely over its output port.

In Scream!’s main window, right-click on the instrument's icon and select

Terminal… from the pop-up menu. (If this fails, connect the instrument
directly to a serial port and right-click on the serial port instead.)

Check that there is two-way communication with the digitiser by pressing
Enter. The instrument should reply with ok on a new line.

Type ok­1 to enable advanced commands. The instrument will reply with a

message describing the current firmware version.

If the firmware needs updating:

1. Type load and press ENTER. The instrument will display

load C

The instrument will now wait up to ten seconds for you to provide a
firmware file.

2. Right-click on the terminal window and select Send file…:

Firmware updates for the 6TD normally have file-names like
uppern_319.hex.

3. Choose the required firmware image file and click
