Using the Data Logger
In this case, either a DL1 or DL2 can be used as the re-flashing tool.
1. Insert a compact flash card into the flash card reader attached to your computer and format it into FAT16 file format.
2. Copy the required firmware upgrade file to the card. For the DASH4PRO, the firmware file will be called DASH.HEX. It should be the only file present on the flash card. The presence of other files can confuse the logger and lead to unpredictable results.
3. Connect the DASH4PRO to the Data Logger as normal, then turn on the Data Logger.
4. Wait until data communications between the logger and DASH4PRO has been established. This will be evident by the message Start Logging... being displayed on the DASH4PRO display.
5. Insert the compact flash card into the logger.
6. Re-flashing will be automatically started. While the DASH4PRO is being re-flashed, it will turn off the backlight and displays the message Programming.... Do not turn off the Data Logger while the re-flashing procedure is underway.
7. When re-flash completes successfully, backlight will be turned on again and it gives the message “Re-flash success”. Once finished the firmware upgrade, file should be removed from the CF card.
Note: Do not leave dash.hex on the CF card, otherwise it slows down start up time and increases the risk of a unit failure.
8. If for any reason re-flash fails, DASH4PRO displays the following message: -
Please Restart
Turn off the Data Logger and turn it on again and start the re-flashing procedure from the beginning.
