Upload Procedure and Part Number Verification of the Loadable Software Parts (LSP) in the Wireless Ground Link-Quick Access Recorder (WGL-QAR)


CAUTION: OBEY THESE PRECAUTIONS TO PREVENT ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE (ESD) DAMAGE TO THE COMPONENTS:
  • STAY ON A CONDUCTIVE SURFACE THAT IS ELECTRICALLY GROUNDED.
  • USE A CONDUCTIVE WRIST-STRAP THAT IS ELECTRICALLY GROUNDED. (CONNECTED TO A BONDING-POINT NEAR THE WORK AREA).
  • BEFORE YOU USE THE TOOLS, MOMENTARILY HOLD THEM AGAINST AN ELECTRICAL GROUND TO RELEASE STATIC ELECTRICITY.
NOTE: You can use different vendor-supplied methods (for example, CF card) as an alternative procedure to upload the software in the WGL-QAR. VSB 2243800-31-27 contains the vendor instructions to do this software upload.
