253 +The Package Update Tool can be used to load .puf files to devices, typically in order to [[update firmware>>doc:SHOWRUNNER™ Setup Guide.SHOWRUNNER™ Installation Guide.SHOWRUNNER™ Installation and Network Setup.Updating Firmware.WebHome]] or [[load the ShowRunnerCLC™ program>>doc:SHOWRUNNER™ Setup Guide.SHOWRUNNER™ Installation Guide.SHOWRUNNER™ Installation and Network Setup.Processor Setup.WebHome||anchor="HProgramLoad"]] to processors. While the Package Update Tool can be opened from within Toolbox, Chief Integrations does not recommend it as loading a .puf file this way will lock Toolbox until the .puf is finished loading to the device. Instead, we recommend to closing Toolbox (or at least closing any Toolbox connections to devices that you intend to update) and double-clicking the .puf file to open the Package Update Tool. This allows you to open multiple instances of the Package Update Tool and load .puf files to multiple devices at once.
