Software History

dCS

products make extensive use of software configurable chips – FPGAs and DSPs. This gives us

the ability to update our products to add extra features, update digital interface standards or make
performance improvements by loading new software. Occasionally, a hardware update may be
necessary also to increase the “capacity” of the electronics, add extra connectors or extra front panel
controls.

Please note that not all software updates make an earth-shattering change. You should have a clear
idea of what you expect to gain before updating to the latest issue. We recommend that you keep your
software up to date. Check the

dCS

web-site for the latest software updates.
