MLXPTCLIN user interface (UI_PTCLINAAMLX.exe)
MLXPTCLIN PSF (PSFPTCLINAAMLX.exe)
PTC04 user interface (UI_0PTC04AAMLX.exe)
- Optional, only required for uploading the firmware of the PTC04 programmer.
PTC04 PSF (PSF0PTC04AAMLX.exe)
MPT application (MPTApp.exe)
MLXPTCLIN firmware for PTC04 programmer. (FIRPTCLINAAMLX.hex or FIR0FastLoaderAAMLX.hex)
1.1.
If you are installing the package from the CD, please follow the instructions
1. Start Autorun program
2. Press MLXPTCLIN button. It will install the whole package
1.2. If you are not installing the package from the CD, please follow the
instructions
1. Put all software modules, except for the firmware, into one directory.
2. Run the installation of the user interface (UI_PTCLINAAMLX.exe). It will install all other needed
packages. The package is only installed if the previous installation has a lower revision number.
All the installations can be started separately, one by one, by running the corresponding installation
program with the parameter /maininstall.
For example: PSFPTCLINAAMLX.exe /maininstall
will install only the PSF for MLXPTCLIN.
1.3.
When starting the software for the first time, please follow the instructions
1. Connect the PTC-04 programmer if still not connected. If you are using USB and connect the
programmer for the first time, Windows will ask for USB drivers. Install them and continue with step 2.
2. Run Melexis Programming Toolbox application (MPT)
3. On Workspace pane open UI modules branch
4. Double-click on PTC-04 to open the generic user interface for PTC-04
5. Click on Firmware commander button
6. Select Upload Firmware from the Communication menu. You will be asked for the location of the
firmware file
7. Wait until the firmware is loaded and verified. The software is now ready for work

Minimum Revision: 1.57
Minimum Revision: 1.30
2.1.3. Modifications of MLXPTCLIN PSF library


During uploading, SaveEEPROM is called only before changing from state 0 to state 1
Error was not propagated during sending multiple sub-frames in LIN mode. That may lead to not
written blocks if error occurs during uploading.
2.1.4. Modifications of MLXPTCLIN User Interface
N/A
2.1.5. Modifications of Firmware


2.2.
During uploading, SaveEEPROM is called only before changing from state 0 to state 1
UploadFromXram now supports restarting from any state. Thus, it is now possible to upload
MlxCM firmware with protocol different than the currently used.
