Updating Software
General Software downloading procedures are provided with each software
upgrade kit. Contact your GE Medical Systems Information Technologies
Service Representative for information on the latest software required
for your equipment. To aid GE Medical Systems Information
Technologies in determining your software needs, please complete the
following:
• Notate all internal software revisions of the monitors. All Solar
monitors should be using the same software revisions on the Unity
Network. Write down or print out all software code part numbers for
each monitor in the system. To accomplish this, execute the following
menu sequence starting from the MAIN menu:
MONITOR SETUP
SOFTWARE REVISION
PRINT (if menu option is available)
• Determine if any Solar compatible modules require updating. Each of
the following modules requires its own diskette of software, but it is
downloaded in the same manner as any other monitor interface
software similar to the RAC DAS or RAC COMM software.
