Version 2.1 - October 10, 2016
update the parameters within the firmware in your FIRE 2. If you make changes you do not
want to keep, pressing the
Read Settings
button will reload the settings stored in the device,
wiping out any modifications made in neoVI Explorer that had not yet been saved.
Reloading Device Defaults
To return all settings to factory defaults, press the
Load Defaults
button. This is convenient if
many changes have been made and written to the firmware in the past, and you want to start
over with a clean slate.
Note that pressing this button actually writes the defaults to the device first, and then reloads
them automatically, so you do not need to also press
Write Settings
. You will see messages in
the message area telling you that defaults have been sent to the device and then read from it.
Disconnecting from the FIRE 2
Press the
Disconnect
button to tell neoVI Explorer that you are done working with the FIRE
2. This step is actually optional, because neoVI Explorer will disconnect from any connected
devices when you exit the program.
Searching for Devices
If you attach new hardware to your PC after starting neoVI Explorer, press the
Search For
Devices
button at the bottom left of the dialog box to prompt the program to scan for new
hardware you can manage.
Exiting neoVI Explorer
Like any Windows program, you can close neoVI Explorer by clicking the “X” in the top right
corner, or pressing the Alt+F4 key combination.
4.2 System Settings and Firmware Updates
The top two entries in the explorer window on the left side of neoVI Explorer contain system-
wide settings that apply to all hardware devices, and information related to firmware updates.
System Settings
Click here, and in the right-hand pane you will see four settings that you can enable or disable
(Figure 60):
•
Enable Server:
Turns on the neoVI Server feature, a background program that allows
your hardware to be used by multiple applications at the same time.
•
Enable Low Latency:
This is an advanced setting for applications where fast response
is needed after transmission.
