I assumed (mistakenly, perhaps) that Ed's question was about firmware update.
Prologix.exe is way better for everything else. And one of these days John may even add firmware update support ;-) -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of John Miles Sent: Sunday, June 10, 2007 12:53 PM To: Discussion of precise time and frequency measurement Subject: Re: [time-nuts] Prologix GPIB-USB Controller firmwareupdate-version4.60 Prologix.exe should work in Vista, if you can get past the inevitable nagging. I'd like to hear if otherwise. You don't need Hyperterm for most things if you use prologix.exe. For re-flashing the firmware, though, you will need a real terminal program. Prologix.exe will communicate with the board behind your back and cause problems with the boot loader. -- john, KE5FX > > Good catch!
