5.4 Updating using SoftLoad Commands
Refer to the SOFTLOADFILE command in the OEM6 Firmware Reference Manual (OM-20000129) for
details.
1. Open a connection to any port on the receiver (COM or USB COM port) with a user Application
Programming Interface (API).
2. Request the SOFTLOADSTATUSA log using the following command:
LOG SOFTLOADSTATUSA ONCHANGED
3. Initialize SoftLoad with a SOFTLOADRESET command. This command stops all tracking on the
receiver to ensure sufficient memory is available for the loading process. A RXSTATUSEVENTA log
reports a SoftLoad In Progress status.
Use SoftLoad if automated loading is required or the platform used to communicate with the
receiver is not supported by WinLoad or a connection is only possible through USB.
Refer to Types of Firmware Files on page 43 for details on updating versus upgrading.
