Programming the RLED30CV4+
Once the RLED30CV4+ has powered up and has been tested working with the setup button, the device is ready to be programmed.
Ensure that a project file has been created, and Rasoft Pro is connected to a
programming device such as a RAMPI or HUB. For more information, see the
Wireless Module
Setup
Guide.
