Updating Software Via IrCOMM
Note: While Windows 95/98/98SE and NT (with QuickBeam)
support IrCOMM, Windows 2000 and XP do not. Refer to
Appendix C.
Before you install new coding, you must be sure that the PC has
the correct protocols to transmit the software to the meter.
Setting up the PC
Note: The use of Hyperterminal is shown here as an example. If
you are using a different communications software, see its
manual for detailed instructions.
1. From the Start Menu, click Programs/Accessories/
Hyperterminal to open the Hyperterminal window.
2. If the call is not connected, click on Connect from the Call
menu in Hyperterminal.
3. From the File menu, click Properties. Be sure the New
Connection Properties window is set to your virtual infrared
port.
Note: You can determine which virtual port your infrared is
using by opening Infrared Monitor in the Control Panel
and clicking on the Options tab. It displays the message,
“Providing Application Support on:” and then lists the
virtual infrared port, as shown in Figure 8-13 on the next
page.
