Updating Software
The operation of the CI-340 is controlled by internal software code. The CI-340 is capable of updating
its software code without removing the cover. When updating becomes necessary, the manufacturer
will provide the software code (under warranty) to best operate the instrument. The web address is
https://www.cid-inc.com/support/CI-340/software/. The file DL.exe automatically downloads code
programs. Be sure that these files are in the same directory as other CI-340 program files.
It is the best to copy all the software files provided on the disk to their own directory on the hard drive
before executing DL.exe. Connect the CI-340 USB cable. Run the DL.exe. program to download code from
the computer. Make certain that the the power is on to the CI-340. If the power does not stay on, then
press and hold the key on the CI-340 (a constant ‘beep’ sound may or may not be heard). Select
File, Open and highlight the code file (CI_340.S19), and press ENTER on the computer to start the
update. After approximately 10 ~ 15 seconds, the instrument will display DLC, you can stop pressing
the key. The download of new code will take about 2 minutes. The computer screen will confirm
that the procedure has been completed and the CI-340 will turn itself off.
Press the key and the new software code is active.
