>> To update your PRO6 Control System with the latest version of host
software
1
Mute the PA at the amplifier/speaker. Refer to the WARNING at the beginning
of this section.
2
Insert the USB memory stick into the active USB
socket of the PRO6 (see “Saving your show files to
a USB memory stick” on page 103). The “Run
upgrade utility?” window will open automatically.
3
As the PRO6 can detect how many .tar files are on
the USB memory stick, do one of the following:
• If there is only one .tar file on the USB memory stick, start the updater by
clicking OK.
• If there is more than one .tar file on the USB memory stick, click Cancel to
close the window. Then, start the updater at the master bay GUI by choosing
home
Preferences Upgrade and clicking on the latest host software file
from the list of .tar files in the submenu.
The “PREPARING UPDATER” screen will open, and the status text (lower-left
corner) will inform you of the updater progress. For example, by displaying
“Verifying distribution components”, “Joining network” etc.
After the updater preparation has
finished, the updater screen
opens. It automatically goes
through a startup up sequence
during which the updater menu is
unavailable. When it has
finished, the text just above the
green bar (shown right) will show
“Select items for upgrade” and
the devices available for upgrade
will be coloured blue (see “Device
blocks” on page 369).
4
Select the devices you want to update. It is most likely that you will want to
select all of the devices, so click Select All.
However, if you want to edit the selections, click on the device blocks to
select/deselect individual ones. You can also click Remove All to deselect all of
the ones selected.
Selected units will show the Midas roundel in their device block.
5
When you have selected the devices you want, click Update Now.
