LINDY CPU Switch Multiscreen Installation and Use
Page 22
Step 5 - Run the upgrade program
The latest version of the LINDY CPU Switch Multiscreen firmware is available from
the LINDY Technology website at www.lindy.com.
The CPU Switch
Multiscreen uses the same firmware as the CPU Switch Smart
product.
The program and data files are supplied as a pair e.g.
CPUSS129.EXE
CPUSS129.HEX
and should be downloaded to the same directory on your PC. Run the file
CPUSSxxx.EXE (e.g. CPUSS129.EXE) and follow the on-screen instructions. During
the upgrade the display will show an upper case U and the dot will flash to show that
the upgrade is in progress.
The display will again show a lower case U when the download is complete. Move
option switch 7 to the OFF position to exit upgrade mode and start normal operation.
You may check the new firmware version by entering configure mode and using the
firmware version query function.
Some useful issues to bear in mind when performing flash upgrades
The upgrade program rewrites the LINDY CPU Switch Multiscreen’s firmware code.
If the upgrade process is interrupted then the LINDY CPU Switch Multiscreen will
have invalid code and will not be able to operate. It is therefore good practice to
ensure that the upgrade process is always fully completed. A partial or failed
upgrade may be rectified by performing another upgrade. If the upgrade process is
interrupted accidentally then you should immediately repeat the upgrade process
