3. CONFIGURATIONS
3.1. Configuration of the docking station
A special software tool for the configuration of the docking station will be released
soon. Please contact your local distributor or ARGUS Medical AG.
3.2. Pump configuration
CAUTION!
Every pump used with the QUICK®100 M docking station has to be preconfigured with
its corresponding serial number!
Thus the addresses #396 and #397 in the configuration of each pump must be pro-
grammed with the corresponding serial number. Please refer to the pumps respective
service manual to change these addresses if necessary. In the case of an invalid serial
number, the docking station will generate an alarm and the pump can not be pro-
grammed via barcode.

4. SOFTWARE UPDATES
4.1. General
4.1.1. Introduction
This chapter describes the procedure to perform a software update on the
QUICK®100 M docking station. To check the installed software release in
your docking station you can either read out the history (chapter 5) or en-
quiry the docking station’s status (chapter 6) over the serial interface.
Please refer to your local distributor or ARGUS Medical AG to determine
the latest software release able to run on your device hardware.
The QUICK®100 M contains a flash memory which can be updated easily
via the serial interface of a PC. This flash memory is divided in 2 sectors:
- User Program Sector - Boot loader Sector
The User Program Sector contains the program which runs when the de-
vice is switched on normally. The Boot loader Sector contains the program
which runs when the device is forced by the user, to enter this mode in or-
der to update the flash memory.
4.1.2. Requirements for a software update
If you want to update an ARGUS Medical device please be sure you have
the following items available:
1. Standard RS232 null modem serial interface cable, connected to the
barcode interface.
2. File "AFlash_Dongle.txt" from your local distributor or from ARGUS
Medical on your PC.
3. File "Q100_xxx.txt, if you want to update the user program. The file
name contains the software release of the user program.
4. Terminal emulator e.g. Hyper Terminal included in Microsoft®Win-
dows™.
4.1.3. Safety aspects
Be aware of the following points:
•For medical device traceability your local distributor or ARGUS
Medical AG needs to be informed about every device updates (se-
rial number) you performed!
•Do not make any software updates when the device is used and/or
connected to a patient!
•Do not disconnect the data cable during the software update proc-
ess!
