Section 2 Installation & Setup
2.4.1.3 Sigma Main Controller Setup
2.4.1.3.1 Sigma Software Requirements:
The SigmaCD transmitter has four (4) separate pieces of software/firmware which must
be at the following levels
or higher before the eCDi™ can be connected:
•
GUI Program Software for Windows® - GUI Version 5.0.0 (or higher)
•
Main Controller Firmware - Version 3.0 (or higher)
•
Amplifier Interface Board Firmware - Version 1.11 (or higher)
•
IPA Module Firmware - Version 2.14 (or higher)
NOTE:
The most important one of the above is the Main Controller firmware but the
transmitter software/firmware is a package and all 4 should be updated to the
most current release levels at the same time. Failure to update all 4 to the levels
on the upgrade disk or CD could cause operational conflicts.
To check the Firmware revision levels on the transmitter see the Introduction section
of the Sigma Software manual, 888-2469-001. Complete upgrade procedures are also
located in the software manual.
Section 1 explains how to upgrade the GUI program,
while Section 3 explains how to do the ISP (In-System Programming) to update the
Main Controller, Amp Interface and IPA Module.
2.4.1.3.2 Main Controller Dipswitch Settings:
To deactivate the Main Controller password requirement (necessary for eCDi™
connection) set the S2 dipswitch on the transmitter
Main Controller Board as follows:
•
If eCDi™ is being connected to HP1 (J6), set S2-7 to ON
•
If eCDi™ is being connected to HP2 (J7), set S2-8 to ON
NOTE:
If Remote GUI connection is not being used it is also recommended that the
Remote Access password in the Local GUI computer be set to Null (clear the
password and press enter). See the SigmaCD Software Manual for more
information.
