SOFTWARE UPGRADE INSTRUCTIONS
5.1
OVERVIEW
The MatrixPRO
TM
units built by Barco Folsom incorporate the system software in a
Flash memory component. Flash memory allows easy upgrades without the need to
send the unit back to the factory due to software changes.
The loader utility provides the capability to update the system Flash module with the
latest revision of software. The upgrade utility can be run from a hard drive
(recommended) or a floppy drive. Running the loader from a floppy drive is
discouraged though due to the slow speeds associated with disk access.
