A fully charged meter to prevent power loss during the flash. Step-by-Step Update Guide
Turn on your Satlink WS-6933 and click "Start" on the PC software. You will see a progress bar indicating the data transfer.
Click "Open" or "Browse" within the tool and select the firmware file you downloaded earlier. Ensure the file extension is correct. 5. Initiate the Flash
Follow these steps carefully to ensure a successful software flash. 1. Download the Correct Firmware
Do not disconnect the cable or turn off your computer during this process. 6. Finalize and Restart
🚀 After an update, the meter may default to a different language. Navigate to the gear icon (System) to reset your language preferences. Managing Your Satellite List
The satellite landscape is constantly evolving. Transponders are added, frequencies change, and older satellites are decommissioned. Without a software update, your meter might search for signals that no longer exist or miss new ones entirely. Key benefits of an update include: Improved accuracy in signal strength and quality readings.
Once the tool displays "Upgrade Success," the meter will usually reboot automatically. Disconnect the USB cable and navigate to the "System Setup" menu to verify the new version number. Troubleshooting Common Issues
🚀 Check that you have selected the correct COM port. Often, changing the "Baud Rate" in the update tool to 115200 helps.
Open the Satlink Upgrade Tool on your PC. Select the correct COM port that corresponds to your meter. You can find this in your computer's "Device Manager" under "Ports (COM & LPT)." 4. Load the Firmware File
