12.4.4 Initializing the FlashLoader
The FlashLoader starts up displaying the Com Port Configuration
Frame. Select the Comm Port and the baud rate to which the
FP-5000 is set. To speed up programming time, it is recommended
to select the FP-5000 RS-232 baud rate to 38.4 K baud. To avoid
port conflicts it is also recommended to close other programs that
effect serial comm port communications. Then click the “OK” button
initializing the relay to respond. If the relay has not responded in 5
seconds, a message will appear indicating the possible causes.
Once the cause has been resolved, the operator can reinitialize the
Flashloader program so that the relay will respond to the request.
(See Figure12-1.) When communications have been established
this window will close and a communications window will appear.
(See Figure 12-2.) You will then be prompted to open the “S-Record
File” from the file menu.

Once the S-Record File has been selected, a message will be
displayed to “Click Browse to get the S-Record file.” (See Figure
12-3.) Click the Browse button and a file similar to “Fp5kapp.s19”
(as an example) will appear. (See Figure 12-4.)
