10.2 Downloading New Firmware
This function is used to download a new firmware version simultaneously to the BMPC/2
Control Unit and Wiring Box. The firmware download typically requires around 10-12
minutes.
i
Notice: Take care when exchanging the Control Unit or Wiring Box, that the same firm-
ware is on the Control Unit and the Wiring Box. The firmware on both units must be the
same!
Normally a BMPC/2 Control Software version works only with a corresponding firmware
version in the Control Unit and the Wiring Box. For example, the firmware
„BMPCAPPL_100201v5.0.H86 has the release date of February 1, 2010, and Version
5.0. When the BMPC/2 is started, it checks if the version V5.0 corresponds to the inter-
nal stored version Vx.y. If the major release value („x“) is equal, the software will start,
otherwise a warning window will appear and the software will not start.
After selecting this function, browse for the actual firmware file which should be stored
before in the directory:
c:\program files\bruker\bmpc2\Firmware\bmpc*.h86
After selecting the current version, you can start the download by pressing the button
Start Download
