GSP(R) Flash Downloader GSP Flash Downloader is the program used to update the firmware in your GERBER enVision(TM) to a new revision level.

Click Start, then Run. In the Open text box type "a:G32Flash.exe" then click OK. The Open dialog box appears. 2 Choose ENV_H01_.sre file in the Open dialog box and click Open. The GSP Flash Downloader program opens. The file name shown will be ENV_H01_.sre. The H01 signifies the revision level of the upgrade. 3 In the Device box, click Plotter. 4 In the Port box, click the COM port to which the enVision is connected. 5 Power up your enVision. 6 Click Download. As the ENV_H01_.sre file is downloading, a slider bar tracks progress. Status messages will appear in the Status/Download History box. 7 When the word Done appears in the Status/Download History box, press Exit. The enVision will reboot. The enVision is now upgraded to the new firmware level.
