Valon 5030
Operations Manual The 5030 Synthesizer complete operations manual including
specification, commands, and additional mechanical and electrical information.
Terminal Program 5000term.exe (unzip) is our terminal
program for sending commands to the synthesizer if you don't have or want to
use our GUI. Other terminal programs
such as Tera Term and PuTTy
will also work well. To launch
5000term.exe just open a DOS command window and type:
"5000term". You should see a
connection message "Using 9600 baud".
Type: "help" to get the list of available commands.
Use
5000term.exe to also update your
synthesizer with new firmware version *.bin files as they become
available. To update your synthesizer,
follow these simple instructions:
1. If you haven't already done
so, download and unzip the 5000term.zip file to create the 5000term.exe. You may have to turn off your computer
security momentarily as most anti-virus protection programs will delete .exe
files.
2. Request the .bin file (from
the link below) and place it in the same subdirectory that you have the
5000term.exe program.
3. Open a DOS window to run
5000term followed by a single space and then the exact name of the .bin file
exactly as shown in this example. Example: c:\files\Valon\5000term 5030_3.0a.bin
4.
Now type: "CNTL-L" to load the new firmware. You will immediately see the loading progress
in the DOS window.
5. You will then be able to
type:"STATus" to see the new firmware
version and type "help" to see the list of available commands.
Firmware Updates
