Prerequisites
CAUTION!
Remove the USB cable from the Trex unit before connecting to a device. Do not use USB
communication in a hazardous area.

cable that is longer than 2 meters.
Procedure
1. Ensure the Trex unit is powered on.
2. Connect the microUSB cable to the top of the Trex unit, and then to the PC where
Upgrade Studio is installed.
Note
The USB driver is installed when you install Upgrade Studio.
3. In Upgrade Studio, click Activate Units or Install Updates.
4. If you do not see the Trex unit, select Show All Trex units from the drop-down bar.
Upgrade Studio connects to the Trex unit and the
icon appears on the
screen.
