2.2 Installing the STEP 5 Basic Package
If you have purchased a new programming device from Siemens,
the system software together with STEP 5 is already installed on
the programming device in compressed form in five languages.
After you have set up your programming device and turned it on, a
menu is displayed in which you can select the language in which
you want to install the system software. The remaining steps of the
installation are also menu-driven.
The most important information about the retrofit package can be
found in the accompanying Product Information.
When ordering, please remember that there are different packages
for PGs and PCs.
