How do I download a configuration into my Pronto?
1.
Start ProntoEdit.
2.
Connect one end of the Pronto serial cable to your Pronto and
connect the other end to a serial port of your PC.
3.
Make sure you have a configuration in ProntoEdit either by
uploading one from your Pronto (see
How do I upload a
configuration from my Pronto?
) or by loading one from a file (see
How do I load a configuration from a CCF into ProntoEdit?
).
4.
Click
in the toolbar, or select
Download into Pronto
from the
File
menu.
5.
ProntoEdit generates the configuration. If the resulting configuration
does not fit in your Pronto’s available memory, ProntoEdit will tell
you it is too large and cancel the download. Depending on how
oversized the configuration is (ProntoEdit displays this information
both in absolute and relative terms) you should delete some
elements and then try again.
ProntoEdit now tries to connect to your Pronto. If ProntoEdit cannot
connect to your Pronto, it will display a message saying Pronto not
connected or not responding.

button to open a window listing all the serial
ports on your PC.
1.
If another application is using the serial port to which your Pronto
is connected you can either try another serial port or have the
other application release the serial port.
2.
If ProntoEdit was able to open the serial port to which your
Pronto is connected but still could not connect, check to see if
both ends of the cable are properly inserted and if Pronto’s
batteries have not run out. Then wait a few seconds and try
again. If after a number of tries ProntoEdit still cannot connect,
try resetting your Pronto, wait until it beeps twice and try again.
6.
After connecting to your Pronto, ProntoEdit will check the
configuration in your Pronto.
If your Pronto does not contain a valid configuration, ProntoEdit will
display a message saying Failed to get valid information from
Pronto, do you want to overwrite any configuration currently in
Pronto?
1.
Click
No
or
Cancel
if you don’t want to overwrite the
configuration in your Pronto.
2.
Click
Yes
to continue downloading.
If your Pronto contains a modified configuration, ProntoEdit will
display a message with the creation date and time of this
configuration, and ask you if you want to overwrite it.
1.
Click
No
or
Cancel
if you don’t want to overwrite the
configuration in your Pronto.
2.
Click
Yes
to continue downloading.
ProntoEdit will now download the configuration into your Pronto.
After downloading, your Pronto will tell you when it is ready to be
used again by beeping twice.
