Installing the GF-MESM

 

 

 NOTE If you own other GoFlight hardware and have already installed the most current version of software on your system, you do not need to install the software again. Simply skip the software installation steps in the instructions below.

1. Get on line and go to www.goflightinc.com.

 

2. On the home page click Support tab then Latest Software Update

 

3. Click on Latest Software Up-date to download our latest module drivers and configuration

Software.

 

4. Click “Run” or “Save” and follow the instruction to load your software.

 

If the software installer detects that GoFlight software is already installed on your system, it

 

 

will prompt you to overwrite. Click the Yes button to overwrite the existing version of GoFlight software. This is useful if you wish to keep the configuration settings for other GoFlight modules installed on your system. However, you should first make sure that the software you are overwriting is an older version and not a newer one.

 

5. Plug the USB cable “B” connector end (square) into the connector on the back of the GF-MESM

circuit board.

 

6. Plug the USB cable “A” connector end (rectangular) to a USB port on your computer or USB hub. Once the operating system recognizes the GF-MESM, you will see the GF-MESM Picture on the left side of the program window. Each time you start GF-Config the picture indicates that the GF-MESM has been detected by your computer and is ready to use.

 

Installing the GF-MESM into the GoFlight Flight Deck Console

1. If you are planning to install the GF-MESM module into a GoFlight rack enclosure, install the module in any desired location in the enclosure. Fasten the module in place using the two thumbscrews that are included in the GF-MESM packaging being careful not to over-tighten them.


  1. After you install the GoFlight software and connected the GF-MESM for the first time, run the GF-Config program, which is located in your Programs menu under “GoFlight”. Verify that GF-Config displays a picture example representing the GF-MESM unit on the left-hand side of the program window. Click on the GF-MESM picture to show the configuration options in the right side of the program window.
