Installing Xtium-CLHS PX8

•

Firmware Update: Manual Mode

Select Manual mode to load firmware other then the default version or when, in the case of

multiple Xtium-CLHS PX8 boards in the same system, if each requires different firmware.
The following figure shows the Device Manager manual firmware screen. Displayed is information

on all installed Xtium-CLHS PX8 boards, their serial numbers, and their firmware components.

Do a manual firmware update as follows:

•

Select the Xtium-CLHS PX8 to update via the board selection box (if there are multiple

boards in the system).

•

From the Configuration field drop menu select the firmware version required (typical

required or offered to support different CLHS cameras).

•

Click on the Start Update button.

•

Observe the firmware update progress in the message output window.

•

Close the Device manager program when the device reset complete message is shown.

Figure 2: Manual Firmware Update

Executing the Firmware Loader from the Start Menu

If required, the Xtium-CLHS PX8 Firmware Loader program is executed via the Windows Start Menu

shortcut Start • Programs • Teledyne DALSA • Xtium-CLHS PX8 Driver • Firmware

Update. A firmware change after installation would be required to select a different configuration

mode. See User Programmable Configurations.
