A.1 Firmware Update Instructions
WARNINGS
■ The firmware update process will erase all job and settings files from In-Sight non-volatile flash memory.
In-Sight Explorer creates a backup of all job files and settings prior to the firmware update. These files are
restored to the wafer reader automatically after the firmware update; however, you may wish to perform a
manual backup operation on the wafer reader before starting the Firmware Update procedure.
■ Do not power cycle the wafer reader while the firmware is being upgraded.
■ If an error occurs during the firmware update process, power cycle the In-Sight wafer reader and restart the
firmware update.
■ You cannot update the firmware on a wafer reader that is currently Online. Take the wafer reader Offline
before attempting to update the firmware.
■ If a job containing a large number of functions is loaded when a firmware update is attempted, the update may
be interrupted due to lack of empty flash memory. If this occurs: (1) ensure that the wafer reader is Offline, (2)
click File > New Job and (3) try the update again.
■ If the jobs on an In-Sight wafer reader consume a large portion of available flash memory, the firmware
update may be interrupted due to lack of empty flash memory. If this occurs: (1) backup or delete the job files
from the wafer reader, and (2) try the update again.
■ If you receive an error ("Error 6029: Unable to establish native mode connection to <wafer reader>") while
attempting the firmware update process, you may be logged on to the wafer reader without the appropriate
privileges. Log off and then log on as a user with appropriate privileges and retry the firmware update
procedure.
