4.20.2 Update using a PC
The SpectralTransfer PC software supports the software and method update
to Version 1.1x.
From version 1.20 this function is no longer supported.
4.20.3 Language update
If you want to set some special languages on your photometer (e.g. Chinese
or Thai), a character set extension is required to display the characters.
You can install the additional character sets with a corresponding language
update. After the installation, the character sets will occupy some of the stor-
age space of the photometer:
Chinese: 2 MB
Thai: 0.3 MB
The language updates are on the CD-ROM provided with the photometer.
Note
A language update cannot be undone. Therefore, we recommend to carry out
the language updates only if they are really required.
Before the update Before carrying out the language update, make sure the current software ver-
sion is installed on the photometer. It is available on the Internet as an
update. Download this software update and install it before starting the instal-
lation of the language updates.
Requirements Free storage space on the photometer is required, depending on the charac-
ter set to be installed and the installation procedure:
Note
You can view the currently available free storage space on the photometer in
the
Info menu (F4 key). If less free storage is available than required for the
update, the update is not possible. You can back up and erase from the pho-
tometer measurement data so that enough free storage is made available.
Execution The update is executed in the same way as a software and method update
and takes approx. 2 minutes. All files required for the update are in a zip
archive or a self-unpacking exe file ("FontXXXXXX.zip" or
"FontXXXXXX.exe") on the CD-ROM. It also includes a Readme file with
detailed installation instructions for the language update.
