3.3.a.2. Connect the other end of the GBS cable (typical PWC61969) to the
laptop.
3.3.a.3. Power up the aircraft electrical system.
3.3.a.4. Open the GBSlite by double clicking on the icon.

NOTE: Make sure COM port is available before launching this application, normally the
used is the port #1. If any palm pilot type software is located on your laptop, it
must be temporarily turned off or deactivated. This type of software normally
protects COM port # 1 and will inhibit your ability to download the EDU files.

NOTE: If your computer is not equipped with a physical COM port, it is possible to use
the USB adapter (typical PWC90191) to communicate with USB port (USB drivers
provided with USB adapter must be previously installed).

3.3.b. Open the GBSlite by double clicking on the icon.

3.3.c. Creating directories for downloads:
3.3.c.1. If they have not already been set-up, creating new folders with Windows
Explorer will help you keep track of your downloads.
3.3.c.2. In Windows Explorer open the folder in which you want to create a new
folder (example C:), in the following format C:\Eng_Data.
3.3.c.3. On the ‘‘File’’ menu, point to ‘‘New’’, then click ‘‘Folder’’.
3.3.c.4. A temporary folder will appear with the highlighted name ‘‘New Folder’’.
3.3.c.5. Type in the name you wish to apply to the folder (preferred name:
Eng_Data), press enter.
3.3.c.6. Inside C:\Eng_Data create a new folder again. On the ‘‘File’’ menu, point
to ‘‘New’’, then click ‘‘Folder’’.
3.3.c.7. Rename this temporary folder to the name of the aircraft (preferred the
reg. number. Example: N498FA).
3.3.c.8. Create two new subdirectories (folders) in the directory ‘‘N498FA’’.
Rename the first new folder to the engine S/N (example: CF0917) and the
second to the other engine S/N (example: CF0918).
3.3.c.9. When downloading, configure the GBS so the downloads will be stored in
the applicable engine directories, example: C:\Eng_Data\N498FA\CF0917\ or
C:\Eng_Data\N498FA\CF0918\.

NOTE: Check the entire fleet on the folders at any engine removal/installation in order
to avoid duplicated information or confusions during the downloading

newly created folder. Once the folder is selected, click the OK button.
3.3.h. Download current EDU data:
3.3.h.1. This procedure copies the stored data from the EDU memory into the
computer. When the data is stored in the laptop computer it can be modified
as necessary and uploaded to the same EDU or a replacement EDU.
3.3.h.2. Select the download button or use the "Transfer" pull down menu.
3.3.h.3. Select "All recordings", (this will normally produce files engine in ".brc"
