The firmware update procedure below is based on a PC with Windows 11 operating
system and the use of a "USB to RS-232" converter. The used PC has both RS-232
interfaces:
- "USB to RS-232" interface converter
- RS-232 serial port/interface (in-build).
The sample images below are based on used Terminal S software with a connected
ACOM 500S amplifier. The firmware update procedure is the same for ACOM 700S and
1200S amplifiers.
