Software loading procedure.

  1. Download and install EPL Terminal for Windows (32bit) if required.
  2. Ensure no other program is running which requires use of the appropriate Com Port. Ie XTest.

  4. Switch on the X-900.
  5. Immediately following the memory checks, Hit a key within 2 seconds at the prompt to enter compiler mode.
  6. Hit return a number of times, until OK-0 is returned.

  10. The browse buttons […] may now be used to locate the required software on the host PC. Note that if custom software is used this may be 1, 2 or 3 pages long (Usually called xxxx13.epl, xxxx14.epl and/or xxxx15.epl).
  11. Once the required software has been selected, click on Load to begin the download to the X-900.
  12. Once the download is complete, switch the X-900 off and then back on, checking to see if all the banks are now reported correctly. ( Note: Bank22 is normally listed differently to the rest, as data OK ).
