Updating PC3LE Software and Objects
The most common use of the Bootloader menu is to update your PC3LE using new versions of
software and objects supplied by Kurzweil. New versions will be made periodically as we add
new features or improve performance; download these free upgrades from our website at
www.kurzweil.com.
There are two ways to send files to the PC3LE: using a USB device such as a thumb drive, or via
a USB cable connected to a computer. The Bootloader recognizes both methods, and will choose
the one that is active when requested, i.e. a USB device plugged into the USB Storage port on the
rear panel or a USB cable plugged into the USB Computer port and an active computer
supporting USB communications.
To use a USB device you’ll need a valid USB device and a computer with a USB type A port.
Most modern Windows and MacOS computers support USB devices in a very straightforward
way. You should be able to drag and drop the PC3LE files right onto the USB device directory.
After the files are copied, remove the device from the computer and place it in the USB storage
port on the rear panel of the PC3LE. A USB connector will only fit into the port if oriented
properly, so don’t force it into the port, as this may damage your PC3LE or USB device. If you
are having trouble inserting your USB connector into the port, try flipping the connector over.
To transfer files without a USB device, plug a USB cable into the PC3LE Computer port and the
computer. After you enter the bootloader menu, the computer should recognize that a new
device is available having the name “KurzweilPC3LE”. Files can be dragged and dropped
directly to this device icon and will be immediately available on the PC3LE.
The UPDATE IMAGE menu looks like this:
Use the soft buttons below the display to choose the appropriate module to update. Most of the
time you’ll want to choose “MAIN IMAGE” or “MAIN OBJECT”. The executable image file will
be a file with a name like: PC3LESY150.BIN. The object library file will have a name like:
OBJ120.PLE.
After choosing a module type to load, the PC3LE will offer you a choice for which storage type
to load your files from (see below.) Make sure your USB device is connected and choose the
appropriate type to see a list of files, or press the Back soft button to return to the previous
screen.
