If the number is not the required change this before carrying on to the next steps
ensuring the unit is in the correct application. This can be done easily by pressing
SEL, it then prompts you for a password which is 2000, then SEL again, now change
the number up or down accordingly. Once you change the number remember to save this
by moving the cursor across to save, now press jump and menu 6000 which will verify
you are in the right machine size.

The following steps are not required for 2.20.6.a37 file or newer revisions as
this is done automatically by the .a37 file.

The parameter file can now be downloaded by firstly going to the PARAMETER screen
from the choices on the left of the screen. Now go to the FILE menu from the top left of
the screen and then select open.

This will then open a window prompting you as to what file you wish to open, go to the
folder you have stored this file in i.e. MY DOCUMENTS. The file name is

screen.

Ensure the computer is still connected to the Deif unit by going to CONNECTION. Now go
to PARAMETERS and then DOWNLOAD, a few seconds later a window should appear
saying download successful.

All the appropriate parameters are now in the DEIF unit and the unit has the correct
level of software.
The level of software the unit is running on can be checked by pressing jump on the
small hand held deif display and selecting 6000, this will tell you the configuration and
software revision.

The parameter file should be kept for future use as this is the factory settings for this
particular machine should anyone change the parameters in the unit in the future they
can be restored using this file.
