Caution

Downloading new software overwrites the existing test software in your test tool. You will not have access to the old version of the software. Downloading new software erases all data stored in the test tools memory. To save stored Autotest results or SETUP settings, use LinkWare to upload the data to a PC. To prevent an unexpected loss of battery power to the test tool or remote, connect the battery charger to the test tool and the remote during the downloading process.

LinkWare

Install the latest version of the LinkWare PC. Install LinkWare by downloading the file from the web, which runs a self-extracting setup program.

Updating the Main Unit

You need to get the latest version of firmware from the website, click here. Once you have downloaded the file 4000_V3.925.EXE, run it from Windows Explorer. It will extract two files (4000_main_v3.925.bin & 4000_remote_v3.925.bin) to the C:\Temp directory. 

  • Connect the instrument to the PC using the supplied 9-pin to 9-pin PC interface cable.
  • Start LinkWare on the PC.
  • Click on Utilties  > DSP-4x00/LT CableAnalyzer > Software Update in LinkWare.
