UPGRADING THE FIRMWARE
Please note that firmware and software are published together and they must match. If they do not
match, serious problems can occur so always make sure the version of the firmware and software is the
same!
Steps to upgrade the firmware:
-
Download and run the new software
-
Wait for the device to connect and read the settings from the device. Make sure you wait for all
the settings to load!
-
Save the settings to a file, let’s call this file “before.dat”
-
Open upgrade window, click open and select firmware .bin file (that matches the version of the
software)
-
Click connect to device and turn the device off and on so device is found and is ready to
upgrade.
-
Once it’s connected, click write new firmware and wait for it to finish.
-
Turn the device off and on, wait for the settings to finish loading, then open the “before.dat” file
using the file->load settings and send new settings to the GCU. After the upgrade, all outputs are
disabled due to safety reasons, so you need to send the settings to the GCU to activate them
back.
-
Turn the device off/on and enjoy the new firmware
