@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?
