menu options in an effort to keep the gauge as simple to operate as possible. The

diagram below illustrates the entire menu structure of the TI-UMX2:

IMPORTANT COMMENTS:

1. Depending on the transducer identiﬁed by the TI-UMX2, only the menu options

applicable to that speciﬁc transducer will appear. Therefore, it’s important to note

that the menus displayed are dynamic and may not be consistent if different types of

transducer are interchanged.

2. Again, depending on the transducer identiﬁed, the modes applicable for that speciﬁc

probe type will be enabled and displayed. Dual element transducers have mode

options of P-E, PECT, or E-E. While the single element membrane transducer

options will only use our special TCG (time corrected gain) triple echo mode

(E-E-E), and all three modes listed above will be deactivated and not displayed.

3. If the MEMOFF has been activated, the data logging section of the gauge will be

temporarily turned off. This would be deactivated only if the user does not intend

to store measurements in the TI-UMX2. As a result, MEMOFF will become the ﬁrst

from the menu options, as they pertain only to the data storage facility

of the TI-UMX2.

3. If a custom material type has not been uploaded into the TI-UMX2, it will not

appear in the MATL subdirectory.

13.0 UPGRADING THE FIRMWARE

13.1 Introduction to Firmware

Firmware is the actual software, in the TI-UMX2 itself, that controls the functionality of

the gauge. A beneﬁt of the TI-UMX2, is the ability to upgrade the ﬁrmware from your

desktop. When changes are made to the ﬁrmware, to add features or ﬁx bugs, it can be

downloaded from our website and programmed from a remote location. This offers our

users additional support capability, as the gauge does not have to be sent back to our

facility to be upgraded. In this section, we’ll provide the necessary steps to program

your TI-UMX2.

NOTE: The sections that follow, assume that the ﬁrmware ﬁle has been downloaded

TI-UMX2 and all accessory cables are at your disposal.

13.2 Connecting to a PC

is connecting to a PC to ﬂash program the TI-UMX2. There are 2 cables included with

the TI-UMX2 kit; LEMO to 9 pin serial and 9 PIN serial to USB.

Serial:

the serial port number must be known. The actual port reference can be obtained in the

device manager of a Windows® based operating system.

USB:

Both the LEMO to 9 pin serial and 9 pin serial to USB can be connected together

to use the serial to USB converter conﬁguration. This option requires that a driver is

installed for the USB cable. The driver will automatically be loaded when DataComm

folder on your desktop. This folder is created by DataComm when installed.

The following procedure outlines the steps for connecting and programming the

TI-UMX2 with the latest ﬁrmware, as follows:

Connect & Program

1. Remove the bottom end cap of the TI-UMX2, in order to

access the LEMO data jack. Remove the rubber plug from

the data jack.

2. Plug the LEMO connector into the data jack. Note: align the

red pin on the connector with the data jack.
