InSpec Sampler Controller SECTION 7: INSITU PROGRAMMING
You are offered the option of interrupting this process via the space key. If you skip
this option, you will see messages informing you that the flash is being erased (followed by
repeated dots). Once this is done you will see a message informing you that the flash is being
programmed (followed by repeated dots). After programming is confirmed and the verification
process is completed, a message appears telling you that the flash file has been renamed and
the application is starting. Upon successful re-programming the flash application file is
renamed from FLASH_APP.ONE to FLASH_APP.FIN. This prevents the file from being
redetected and initiating another flash programming sequence the next time the InSpec is
rebooted. The full sequence of events is reported to the terminal window as follows:
InSpec bootloader version 2.04
Press the space key to abort application booting

After successful application programming, type DIR at the command line and you will see that
the flash file has now been renamed:

7.1.2 Manual Software Update Via The Bootloader.
As well as the provision for automatic software updates, the InSpec can also be manually re-
programmed from the command line using the PGMFLASH command. In this case, the file can be called
anything. It does not have to be called flash_app.one. The PGMFLASH command tells the bootloader
specifically what is to be programmed. For example, if the file SAMPLER_RELEASE.BIN was a valid
application program, you simply need to press the space key to interrupt the application start, enter the
bootloader command prompt and type the following:
BOOTLOADER: \> PGMFLASH SAMPLER_RELEASE.BIN
FLASH Application file found
