CAS Interface Studio 3.3 |
|
| Programming the Matrix CAM Flash: If you did not yet start the CAS Studio software, then do so now. When the software has initialized correctly and found a valid serial number for the CAS Interface, then click the Magic Module icon to enter the UCAS programming mode. You should hear 2 beeps and then the next screen should be opened (see screenshot below). It may take a few seconds, so be patient. Now hit the Connect button to connect the CAS Interface and the CAM.
If the connection is OK and the CAM could be read correctly, you should see this screen appear (see below). The programmable components on your CAM should be listed in the message part of the program window.
As with all programming, regardless of whether it is a card or a CAM that you are going to program, allways start with an erase so that no old code is left in the device that could disturb normal functioning. So if you are sure you want to continue (re)programming the CAM, you should hit the erase button now. If you have done that, you will see a warning pop up to ask you if you are sure (see below).
OK, hit Yes and watch as the program will erase the CAM. You can tell if it is working by watching the block count "Erasing Block nn" which is displayed just below the message window.
When ready erasing, the software will let you know. See the message window in the screenshot below. Now you are ready to select the new software for your CAM. So click the Open File button.
The Open File dialog will appear (see below). Now it's a pitty that the Open File dialog doesn't specify any loadable extension types here. That would certainly make life a lot easier. If you are in doubt about which file (extension) to look for, please read the brief introduction to UCAS CAM programming. However, if you don't bother about theory you can of course also take my word for it that you need a file with a .bin extension if you want to program them with the CAS Interface. Well then, open the .bin file now.
If the file could be opened correctly, it will show in the message window (see below). Now click the Flash Write button (see screenshot below).
The software will now be programmed to the Flash memory. You can monitor the progress via a counter and a progress bar (see below).
After completion of the programming process, you will see a note in the message window. It is advised to verify the Flash for correct programming. Click the Verify button (see below).
You can monitor the verifying process via the progress bar (see below).
If all went well, you will be notified that the Flash could be verified successfully (see below).
That's it. You now have a proper programmed Matrix Reloaded CAM. | |
