Revision 3.2  Software 2.58 

How To Install the Newest Firmware On Your XEO 

You should always run the latest and most recent software on your XEO. You may already have the 
latest version, which makes an upgrade unnecessary. You can find out which version you are running 
and whether you need to upgrade by comparing your software version (which you find under 
Preferences --> Status) to the 

XEO Software History

 

(

http://liquivision.com/downloads/XEOSoftwareHistory.php

). Some early versions of the software 

have minor bugs which were fixed in later versions. 
 

 

PLEASE NOTE 

 

If you have RGBM installed, updating your software will delete your RGBM functionality.  

 

If you use RGBM ALWAYS download software updates from Free Phase Dive: 

http://www.getfreephase.com/

 

 

 
If you have determined that your software should be upgraded, follow the steps below. For starters: 

•

 

Make sure the XEO FTDI drivers have been installed on your computer (Windows only) 
(

Instructions

).  

•

 

Make sure the Liquivision Firmware Updater has been installed on your computer (

Instructions

)  

•

 

Connect the XEO PC interface to your computer with the included USB cable (

Instructions

) 

•

 

Make sure the USB cable is plugged into the Xeo PC interface (see photo below)  

•

 

Place the XEO on the desk, on its side, with the PC interface aiming for the eight holes on the 
backplate (see photo below) 

•

 

The distance from the PC interface to the Xeo should be between 2cm and 4cm (1-2 inches).  

 

•
