12.3 BusEngine and Firmware Updates
BusEngine and Firmware updates often need to be performed when you update the
Advisor software. These updates can be performed automatically or manually. Both
processes are described.
Updating the Firmware
Within a new software release, it may also be necessary to update the Analyzer’s
firmware for proper operation. The Readme file informs you if this is necessary.
Automatic Updates
When the Advisor software is updated, the software may become incompatible with the
BusEngine and Firmware. If a recording is attempted, Advisor displays an error message
and then automatically begins an update process for the BusEngine and Firmware.
To perform an automatic BusEngine and Firmware update, follow these steps:
Step 1 If needed, update the Advisor software using the steps outlined in “Software
Updates” on page 140.
Step 2 Turn on the Analyzer.
Step 3 On the Tool Bar, click the button.
Since the BusEngine and/or the Firmware are incompatible with the current
Advisor software version, an error message appears displaying your current
versions and indicating what versions you need to install.
Step 4 Click Yes to close the window closes and open the Analyzer Setup window.
