UNICARD
USB-TTL external memory device for Eliwell instrumentation
and/or DeviceManager software
This document provides technical information relating to the product and its use when
connected to a compatible Eliwell instrument by means of the white TTL connector. For use
with DeviceManager software via a USB connection, see manual 8MA10219.
UPLOAD-Copying the parameters of an instrument to UNICARD
Switch on the instrument with which UNICARD is used
Connect UNICARD to the instrument with the 5-way TTL cable (4 black + 1 red wire,
OR 4 black + 1 yellow wire) supplied in the pack. Depending on the instrument, you will
need to use either the standard TTL connection cable (4 black + 1 yellow wire) or the
mignon TTL connection cable (4 black + 1 red wire).
Before performing any operation, format the system using the appropriate menu of the
connected instrument (see specific menu); the red LED flashes rapidly and the
instrument's display shows the outcome of the operation (usually “y” - see the
documentation for each individual instrument for details). The operation usually takes
just a few seconds.
Using the appropriate menu on the connected instrument, perform the upload-UL. See
the documentation for the individual devices for instructions on how to access the menu
and upload data.
A red LED will remain ON during the writing operation. On completion of the operation,
the LED will switch off and the display will show the outcome of the operation (usually
“y”, see the documentation for each individual instrument for details). The operation
usually takes just a few seconds.
If the outcome is negative (usually denoted by an “n” on the display, see Trouble
Shooting).
Disconnect UNICARD.
DOWNLOAD-Copying parameters from UNICARD to the connected instrument
The operation can be performed in two different ways, each with the same result, as described
below. Neither way depends on the presence of a compatible parameters list in UNICARD,
uploaded according to the procedure described previously or with DeviceManager. Depending
on the type of instrument, downloading can only be performed in manual or in manual and
automatic. See Trouble Shooting section.
