13. Since you are able to have both the old and new versions on the same
computer, you may wish to be able to switch back and forth at first. To
avoid downloading firmware to the M4100 each time you switch, do the
following:
• Find the M4i.x0, Bootblok.x0, and Loader.x0 files in the directory
where the new version 3.0 is installed (the default is C:\Program
Files\Doble\M4000).
• Copy these 3 files into the directory of the older version you are using.
Installation of the M4000 Software is now complete.

COM port Setting
If the software has been installed on a PC, you may have to adjust the COM
port setting if the wrong choices were made during installation. If you are not
able to run any tests on the M4000, but get a communications error, proceed as
follows:
1. Select Tools/Configuration, and choose the Instrument tab.
2. Set the Serial Port to COM 1.
3. Make sure the baud rate is set to 9600.
4. Click OK, reboot the computer, and try again.
5. If there is still trouble communicating, your laptop may require another
choice. Possible COM port choices are 1, 2, 3, or 4.
Besides the COM port setting, you must be sure no other program is running
that wants to access this same COM port. Review programs located in your
startup folder which start up each time the computer is booted up, and remove
any that may try to grab the COM port. Or, from the System icon in the
Control Panel, go to the Hardware tab and select Device Manager. Disable any
items that require the selected COM port.
