The Upgrader software is available as a free download from the Sencore web site. The current
SP395 software is also available for downloading. To get your unique unlock code; use the
request form on the Sencore web site. You will need to have your SP395 serial number and the
version of the software that you wish to install, and Sencore will give you your unlock code. If
you have not registered your SP395, you will be required to do so at this time. Note that you may
be required to provide proof of purchase to obtain a free software upgrade.
Go to the Sencore web site, www.sencore.com, go to the SP395 product page and locate the
download firmware section. Follow the instructions there. You will have to download the
Upgrader program if you have not done so previously, and the new software upgrade.
The program in the SP395 that communicates with the PC (called the Monitor) is stored in
protected, non-volatile memory. Barring physical damage or abuse, it cannot be erased. This
means that even if a faulty program is somehow loaded into the SP395, the Monitor program will
be safe, and a new, corrected program can still be downloaded to make a functional unit. In fact,
several different programs can be stored on the PC hard disk, and loaded in whenever desired.
The unlock code works with a specific SP395 and upgrade, so be sure to keep the unlock code
safe.
TerraLink Software: Real-Time Computer Interface
TerraLink has the ability to communicate with a SP395 in real time. This means that for the
functions for which this feature is enabled, you can see on your computer screen the results of
the function as they are occurring. The functions currently enabled for real-time display are the
RTA, the SPL meter, the FFT, the Energy-Time Graph, and the amplitude and impedance
sweeps functions. TerraLink runs on both Windows and Mac computers, and communicates
using a standard RS-232 serial port. TerraLink also allows plotting memories directly and report
generation. See the Sencore web site for more information on TerraLink.
