i have not updated yet, i just picked up my new powerbar today, was hoping to get 3 of them but they are in extremely short supply. jason if you read this i need 2 more. i havent hooked the powerbar up yet but i want to have a day to myself so i can do the firmware update, install the powerbars and try again at getting the WLAN to work. i havent tried the WLAN again because if i disconnect the controller for the setup everything shuts down. i'm not quite sure what you mean by the PLM-USB

@honkey sauce:
For the update our programme "ProfiLuxControl II" must be used. It runs on Windows-PCs only. Do you have a Windows-Emulation for your Mac? Just some days ago another customer told me hat updated his ProfiLux on a Mac successfully with a emulator and a RS232<->USB-converter. Or does your Mac has a RS232-interface? Then it is absolutely no problem. Please keep in mind: In any case our PC<->ProfiLux connection cable must be used.
If it is not possible to update with your Mac: Maybe you can ask someone with a Windows-PC to make the update there. The update is done in some minutes.

@Jason: We can produce some more powerbars before next shipping, you will receive a mail in some minutes regarding this.

I'm having trouble understanding how to connect the ORP and Redox probes to the combo card and get a reading on the display. Anyone that can help with this? I have the wireless kit...Thank you, Scott

Ok..Figured the above out on my own by trial and error. Took a while but got the setup complete.

Now on to the next issue...communication. Need help with connecting via serial and then via wireless. I connected the serial cable to my notebook computer but the connection is not being made between the Windows notebook and the controller. Is there an option on the Profilux that I need to turn on in order for the computer to identify the controller and vice versa? The software has been loaded and I'm not getting a link between the 2 devices.

I went back several pages but didn't see the step by step instructions. Can you paste the link?

This must be what you are talking about Colin..

Please find my tutorial as I did it step by step PDF (in german/english) download from my homepage

Let me know if you find additional steps who are not covered in the tutorial.
