Updating Node Firmware
Under the recommendation of LORD MicroStrain
®
Technical Support Engineers, nodes can
be upgraded to the latest available firmware to take advantage of new features or correct
operating issues. Node Commander
®
version 2.7.0 or greater can be used to update any
mXRS
®
or LXRS
®
node or gateway firmware to the most current version. Updates are found
on the LORD MicroStrain
®
website.
See Technical Support on page 49
for contact and
website information.
1. Download the LXRS
®
Firmware Upgrade file from the LORD MicroStrain
®
website.
2. Once downloaded, extract the contents of the zip file into a folder on the computer.
Verify there is a file with a .zhex extension.
3. Launch Node Commander
®
, and establish communication between the node and
gateway as normal.
4. Press and hold F1 on the computer keyboard. While holding F1, right-click the node
name, and a drop-down menu will appear.
