Note

1. Use hexadecimal number 0x000-0xFFF to represent 0-3V signal waveform;
2. The output waveform only loads the first 100 points of valid data; red font modification is invalid.

Firmware Upgrade

1. Visit www.miniwore.com.cn to download the appropriate DT71 firmware to your PC.
2. Insert DT71 controller into the Data Cable’s 3.5mm female socket (no need to connect test arms), connect the Data Cable to your PC; a 8-character string removable hard disk will  appear on your PC, entering DFU setting mode.
3. Copy the .hex firmware to the root directory of that disk. After the extension of the firmware changes from “.hex” to “.rdy”, restart DT71, thus the firmware is upgraded.
