I have built cars for the past couple years which have made their way around the world using two PDMs per car, 1 PDM15 and 1 PDM30. I have used the same laptop to do the programming/configurations on all of these cars.
I recently upgraded my laptop because my old one died and downloaded the latest PDM Manager software (1.70?) for it. I ran into a problem when attempting to plug into an older build. It seems like the PDMs only want to communicate with laptops with the same firmware version. As standard practice I save configurations from each car onto my laptop, but since I lost my old laptop I am very concerned about downloading and saving all the configs from previous builds. When attempting to do this, I keep getting an error message "must upgrade firmware" but I will obviously lose all my work doing so. Is there a way to download and save configs from each using my new laptop with the latest firmware in it?
Please help, thanks
