Code (Software) Upgrade
LSC Control Systems has a corporate policy of continuous improvement to its products. The GEN·VI
dimmer software (firmware) is subject to this policy as new features are added and existing features
improved. The software version of your GEN·VI
dimmer

To upgrade your GEN·VI software, download the latest version from the LSC web site.
As of 2021, GEN·VI units are manufactured using two possible types of controller module. Both
types perform the same functions but require their own version of the operating software. The
downloaded software is a ZIP file containing both versions. Double click on the ZIP file to
automatically extract the two files then save both files to a SD card. The controller module in the
GEN·VI knows which filename to look for so only the correct code will be loaded and upgraded.
Insert the SD card containing both files into the SD card socket on the GEN·VI. Press
