GDS101 software upgrade procedure.

1. If you have received a programmed compact flash, skip stage 2.


2. Copy the received/Downloaded software file and into
the root folder of Compact Flash card. The name of
the file is not relevant. Also copy the latest version of
STARTUP.XXX into the root as startup.exe .

• Note! Standard Compact Flash reader is


needed to be attached to the PC
• Note: it is possible to use the Compact
Flash card, which is already installed in the
display unit.

3. NOTE THE INPUT/OUTPUT SETTINGS OF THE GDS BEFORE STARTING THIS


PROCESS:
4. Switch OFF the mains of the display unit and insert Compact Flash card with the new
software on it.

5. Press the “hidden” button inside the cabinet (Mounted on the solder side of the keyboard).
This is the same button, which is used to activate internal settings.

6. Keeping the hidden button pressed, switch ON the mains in the display unit and keep the
button pressed while the message “You may release the hidden button” appears in the
lower part of the screen. If a new startup.exe is to be loaded follow the on screen instructions.

7. Release the hidden button. After few diagnostic text messages, the list of available software
versions will appear in the lower part of the screen as in example below.
• Note, that if the bootloader does not find any file with the software on the Compact
Flash, the presently installed version will start automatically. In this case, make sure,
that the upgrade has been copied correctly on the Compact Flash and repeat procedure.

05.04.13 05.05.09
Active External
050413. 101 v050509.101

8. Select a software version, which you would like to install. Normally, it is possible to choose
one out of two: the version, which is currently installed in the internal memory (indicated as
Active) and the upgrade version (indicated as External). The version name is displayed in the
upper line of the text lines, located just above the corresponding softkey. In the example
above, soft key #2 should be pressed to select the latest software version.
9. Confirm selection by pressing YES button (or go back to selection, pressing NO)
10. Press any button to start the upgraded software (or it will start automatically in 5 seconds)

• Note. The file with a previous software version will be copied back to the Compact
Flash card, so it would be possible to re-install it in the similar manner, if desired.
• It is possible that some upgrades will write over the present settings. We will try to
inform of this, but to be safe, note the setup settings (Outputs).
