Default HELP NEEDED TO DOWNLOAD NEW TUNES

I have received new tunes for download to my SCT Excalibrator2 but I'm having trouble downloading them.

Apparently, the screen on the Excal must read "Main Menu" before you can begin the download process and change the tunes.

When I plug the Excal into my computer the screen reads "Slates X-Cal by Bxxxx" then automatically goes to "Program Vehicle". When I scroll down from there I get to the following screens in this order:

Vehicle Info; Data Capture; Dealer Info; LCD Contrast; Device Info.

I cannot find "Main Menu"

Can anyone help me find the "Main Menu" screen?

Doug is away at a Mustang meet and won't be back until Tuesday. I was hoping to install the new tunes today.

Not according to the picture I'm looking at showing an Excalibrator clearly showing a "Main Menu" screen.

I followed the advice of Matt, MexGT and Ed. The tunes seem to have loaded fine from the PC to the SCT. Now I'll load one to the car and get back to you on my success.

Thank you for your help.

Well if thats the case you dont even really use the sct screen or buttons. Sure you can watch the progress on the screen, but the progress is also shown on the pc software when its deleting/loading tunes onto the SCT.
