Welcome to the GSI Software Update page, it contains information about the various versions of software that have been made available over the last few years for the computerized control systems that GSI currently uses with its grain conditioning equipment.

Since its introduction in 1993, the computerized control systems have evolved several times to provide you with the safest and highest quality possible in grain drying equipment. To continue with this tradition, we are offering the latest software updates for your drying system. This will assure that you will be able to use the latest features incorporated into the dryer software as soon as we receive it from our software engineers.

To update the software in our computerized control systems, you will need the proper hardware and software.

NOTE: We no longer offer any Palm Pilot kits at GSI due to their obsolescence and also the lack of availability of the necessary serial cables.

Software has been developed that will allow you to update programming from a laptop or a PC that contains a 9 pin serial port.

You can download the GSI Legacy Flash programmer software under Current.

If you have the Palm Pilot adapter and series 2000 cable then all you will need to purchase is a null modem serial cable. Below is a Digi-key link to one that is compatible for this setup.

Digi-key DB9F to DB9F serial null modem cable AE9879-ND.

If you have the capability of making modifying your own serial cable you will need to swap pins 2 and 3 on one of the connectors or alternately you can purchase a null modem adapter.

(NOTE: If your hardware setup doesn't contain a serial port you can purchase a USB adapter which will give you this capability. Digi-key part number AE10289-ND.

As with any computer upgrade, you run the risk of making your dryer inoperable if the programming procedure is interrupted during the upgrade. NEVER TURN OFF POWER DURING UPGRADE PROCESS!

If you are currently drying grain, we highly recommend you wait until you are finished drying grain before attempting to update your software. If you feel you need to upgrade, please download and view the programming manual under Archived.
