Loading a new operating system (OS)

A new OS can be entered with the LOADOS command.

NOTE:

The new OS must be sent using xmodem protocol using Tera Term. See Terminal mode commands general.

To load a new operating system:

Enter terminal mode by typing Open 0 (for a sensor with the default ID 0)

This will return the prompt: CS136>

Type the command: LOADOS

The SkyVue 8 will respond:

Load OS into DSP

DO NOT REMOVE POWER DURING OS UPDATE!!!

Waiting for xmodem

At this point, use your terminal emulator to send the appropriate file. Loading the OS could take a few minutes.

When the process is complete the SkyVue 8 will return the message:

Updating DSP OS, please wait....PASS

Updating TOP OS, please wait....PASS

Updating PSU OS, please wait....PASS

Wait 40 sec for OS to restart

Afterwards, the SkyVue 8 will resume operation according to the previously set operating parameters. It will no longer be in terminal mode.
