Software Loading; Du Software Loading Procedure - Honeywell VXP System Maintenance Manual

Preparation for Use
3. Connect the power cable to the AU and power source. This will usually be aircraft
power.
NOTE: How the remaining cables, major components, and accessories are connected
depends on the particular application or aircraft being tested. Refer to the VXP
On-Line Help for the specific aircraft for installation instructions.
Go to section 2.3 to continue with preparation and checkout for the VXP System.

2.2.2 Software Loading

Both the Acquisition Unit and the Display Unit require special software to operate properly. The
DU software is normally installed at the factory, and is independent of the aircraft application. The
AU also comes with software installed, but it may not be the correct software for your particular
application.
Software can be loaded into the DU and AU using the procedures below, should it become
necessary. In these procedures, the term "click" means to select with the mouse or with the touch
screen.
NOTE: Sections 2.2.2.1 and 2.2.2.2 should be referred to only if it becomes necessary to
reload the Display Unit software, or if it is necessary to load application software
for a new aircraft.

2.2.2.1 DU Software Loading Procedure

The software that provides the user interface to the VXP Operational Program (OP) is executed on
the DU, and is called the Display Program (DP). It should not be necessary to load the DP, because
the DU is provided with the software installed. However, should this become necessary, the
loading procedure for the DU is similar to other Windows programs.
1. Insert the VXP DU software (P/N 15480), CompactFlash Memory Card into the
adapter.
2. Make sure that the AU and DU are connected via the AU to DU cable (P/N 902-
15371 or 902-17317) and that the CompactFlash Card drive is inserted in the DU via
the PC card slot.
3. Apply power to the AU and the DU.
4. Click on the Start button.
5. Click on the Run button.
6. Click on the Open box and type: d:\setup.
Or click on the Browse button and select My Computer, then select D: drive, then
select setup.exe, and then select the Open button.
7. Click on the OK button to start loading.
8. Follow the instructions and prompts using the default options.
9. When the loading is completed, restart the DU to complete the software loading.
