Additional Firmware Update Information
Software updates can be supplied electronically, via email or by download. Software updates are named according to their
date of release. For instance,
VTQ0620A.XUF
can be interpreted as VT=Vacuum Touchscreen, Q=2017 (R=2018), 06=June,
20=June 20th, A=the first revision for that day. During the update process detailed above, new software found on the USB
flash drive is first copied to an internally mounted SD card. From the SD card, the software is then loaded into the ULTRA. If
there is ever a problem with the ULTRA and the USB port cannot be used or the ULTRA software is corrupted and cannot load
new software through the menu, new software can be acquired from Maguire and renamed
VTUPDATE.XUF
. This renamed
software can be copied onto the Flash Drive and inserted into the USB port of the ULTRA. When the ULTRA is turned on, this
VTUPDATE.XUF
file will be automatically loaded into the dryer, restoring the software.
