ERVICE SOFTWARE
Revision: 2.1 6-3
6.1 Available service software
The devices are equipped with a serial interface. On B devices, the serial
interface is located in the E-Box.
By connecting to a Windows PC, the set-up and use of the device can be
easily controlled via the user interface of the service software.
The following service software is available:
− Systec service software
This software is used for the basic set-up and configuration of the
device. Functions are available for updating the firmware, modifying
the parameters and for calibration.
− SADS
This software is used for the documentation of autoclave procedures.
A description of the SADS software is not part of the service manual.
6.1.1 System requirements
The connection is made via a direct serial interface between the device
and PC.
The following components are required:
− Windows PC with serial interface (Windows 98 to XP)
− RS-232 extension cable (9-pin D-sub connector, male / female)
Possible causes of errors
:
In order to service the device, you must use a PC with a serial
interface (RS-232: 9-pin D-sub connector, male).
Although it is possible in principle to use USB adapters for this
interface, this has repeatedly led to problems in the past.
Crossed cables:
Cables with crossed connections are not suitable for the
connection between the PC and the device. Unfortunately,
these hardly differ in appearance from the type of cables that
should be used. Therefore, ask specifically for a suitable
connection cable when purchasing.
