Operating System Updates
From time to time, updates to the HydroSense II Operating System (firmware)
will be made available by Campbell Scientific. These updates may provide fixes
for known problems, add new features, change default settings or make
improvements to the user interface. It is generally advisable to keep your
HydroSense II up to date whenever possible. The latest firmware version is
always available from the Campbell Scientific web site at
www.campbellsci.com
. Please check this site regularly to find out if new
versions are available.
New firmware can be downloaded to the HydroSense II using Bluetooth. For
details of the operating system update procedure, please refer to the HydroSense
II Software User Guide. Updating the operating system will erase all data, zones
and configuration settings, so please be sure that your data has been collected
and backed up on the computer before performing the update.
If the batteries in the HydroSense II fail during the update process, corruption of
the operating system can result. Normally the batteries can be replaced and the
update restarted, however in rare cases this corruption can lead to problems
that can only be repaired by your local agent. For this reason, please do not
update the operating system if your batteries are close to exhausted.
