Tuning Instructions
General
The tuning operations of the THF-13 are carried out using the Service Software. The Service Software program turns the phone into Locals Mode, in which the phone can be outwardly controlled via the M2BUS interface. Tuning is based on the Service Software communicating with the D/A and A/D converters of the phone. The calibration data of the phone resides on the EEPROM. The contents of the EEPROM can be read by the Service Software. The program also enables writing of the factory preset calibration data to the EEPROM, after which the whole tuning process should be carried out again. If a repair has been carried out on the RF section of a system module then the appropriate tunings should be performed as described in the following section and using th on-screen help menus as a guide. Spare system modules will be delivered pre-tuned from the factory and will not require retuning. During tuning, proceed as follows: Take care not to damage sensitive measuring instruments with excessive RF power. Carry out all tuning steps in the shortest possible time to avoid excessive heating of RF units. Perform all tuning steps in the order presented. Never try to mask a fault by tuning it out!

THF13 Tuning and Flashing Instructions

Introduction to Flashing
The Flash Programming procedure can be divided into six main steps. 1. Prommer synchronous clock pin is set to low. 2. Phone power is switched on. The ASIC boot software is now ready to receive the secondary boot code. 3. The secondary boot is loaded into the internal phone MCU RAM at a low communication speed. 4. As response to a successful secondary boot down loading and execution the phone returns its current HW configuration and MCU SW version. 5. The prommer selects one of the target specific download codes and sends it to the phone. The code selection is executed automatically based on the phone configuration data. The transmission speed used is as fast as the target HW allows. Down load code is loaded and executed in the RAM. 6. MCU SW is programmed into the phone FLASH using the flashing algorithm provided in down load code. The data is transmitted in data frames, frame size varies from one to several kilobytes. The download code includes flash erase and flashblank check routines for the MCU SW update purposes.
