with the USB cable. Note: it is not possible to update the firmware via the Bluetooth connection.

emits a long acoustic “beep”. Now the instrument is turned on and is in “boot loader mode”, waiting for the

The com port and the speed are automatically managed so you do not need to setup them.
If you need to upload the same firmware version : right click on the Start button, click on "Force full firmware
update" then select the firmware file and confirm.
8) The update requires about 10 minutes, once finished your computer will provide an acoustic and visible
