DMCP and PGM Update Guide

Since version 3.7
Here we will update DMCP system and DM42 program separately, therefore we need two files for
that:
Prerequisites
DMCP_flash_x.x.bin - DMCP system file, e.g. DMCP_flash_3.10.bin
DM42-x.x.pgm - DM42 program file, e.g. DM42-3.10.pgm
Steps
1. Activate USB disk from DM42 program "SETUP → Files → Activate USB Disk" or directly from
DMCP System menu.
2. Connect USB cable from DM42 to PC/Mac computer.
3. Copy both DMCP_flash_x.x.bin and DM42-x.x.pgm files from the PC/Mac computer to root folder of
calculator disk.
4. Eject (safely remove) the calculator disk from PC/Mac computer. Please, be patient this can
take some time. Don’t unplug USB cable until safely ejected from OS.
5. Calculator detects presence of new firmware file and asks for update. You can confirm it
immediately or press EXIT key and activate flashing process later using "Flash firmware from
FAT" either from DM42 program "SETUP → System" or directly from DMCP System menu "Enter
System Menu"
6. Once finished the calculator resets and displays the DMCP System menu.
7. Choose "Load Program" and select appropriate DM42-x.x.pgm file, loading process should start
8. Once loaded the system should (after key-press) restart to DM42 program.
