Download VT PLUS

7. Printing
You can print reports from the VT Plus for Windows® software to any printer installed on
your computer.
There are two ways to print from VT Plus for Windows®. Selecting PRINT from the FILE
menu will bring up the system print dialog box. This allows you to select which printer you
want to use and adjust settings on that printer. Clicking OK will send the report to the printer.
The second way to print is to click the PRINT button on the tool bar. This does not bring up
the print dialog. The report is automatically sent to the default system printer.
The print header that appears at the top of the reports is stored in the VT PLUS. It is loaded
into the VT Plus for Windows® Software every time it connects to a VT PLUS unit. The print
header can be changed using the PRINT HEADER function in the SETUP menu.
8. Loading Flash Memory
The VT PLUS operating software is stored in flash memory onboard the VT PLUS. VT Plus
for Windows® may be used as a utility to load new versions of operating software into the VT
PLUS.
Caution:
Using this utility to load new versions of VT PLUS software will overwrite any
user settings stored in the VT PLUS. Loading new software via this utility will
not change the calibration of the VT PLUS.
The procedure is as follows:
1. Select FILE then LOAD FLASH from the menu. The VT PLUS operating software is
stored on two layers: (1) flash (code file) operating code, and (2) text.
2. Use the Browse button to point to the file “FLASH.hex” for the code file, and
“VP-TEXT.hex” for the text file.
3. Press OK to begin downloading.
When communications are established, the VT PLUS splash screen will be displayed, and a
LOADING FLASH dialog will appear on VT Plus for Windows® with a status bar (Figure 8-
14). When the download is complete, the VT PLUS will return to the default screen. The
download version can be verified by going to the information screen on the VT PLUS.
Please contact Fluke Biomedical’s Service Center for VT PLUS software updates.
