The recommended procedure is to first erase the memory by
pushing the “Erase” button. A message will be displayed stating that
“Erasing in progress.” (See Figure 12-9.) The FP-5000 will display
“Flash Loader Mode – Erase in progress.” This process takes
approximately 20 seconds to several minutes to complete depend-
ing on the size of the program. When completed, a message will
appear on the screen “Erased properly.” (See Figure 12-10.) The
FP-5000 will display Flash Loader Mode “App code erased.”
If a user chooses not to erase the FP-5000 and proceed with the
program downloading, the FP-5000 will not allow the new program
to be entered unless the memory has been erased. Screen
messages will appear instructing the user how to proceed. If the
user selects “Exit Flash Loader” the program is aborted. If the user
selects “Program” the unit will begin to program if its memory has
been erased. If the memory has not been erased a message will
appear instructing the user to erase before programming.
The user can now push the Program button to start downloading the
application code process. A new screen will appear with instructions
to “Click Program to download the application code.” (See Figure
12-11.) The FP-5000 will display Flash Loader Mode “BlankCheck
Pass.” A % complete bar will appear at the bottom of the screen.
Pressing the Program button will begin downloading the new
application code and begin to fill the % complete bar from left to
right indicating the status of the programming process. (See Figure
12-12.) The FP-5000 will display Flash Loader Mode “Program in
progress.”
If the user chooses to abort the programming he can do so at any
time. He must then push the close button, which will activate the
previous screen. The user can then choose to erase which will then
allow him to reprogram or exit the program. Using the close button
will close the program, and display the screen as shown in Figure
12-10. The user can either exit the FlashLoader Program or
continue.
