12 Firmware Update Program
For updating the firmware of the DAD143.x, a firmware package file FWUPDATE.zip must be transferred from
a Windows based PC to an internal flash disk in the DAD 143.x through the service port, using the PC
application program PFL.exe. When the firmware package is loaded into the DAD 143.x flash disk, it must be
programmed into the DAD 143.x micro controller by the FU command.
