Firmware
Update Center dialog
5. If the unit status is
Requires an update
, then select the checkbox in the
Update
column
adjacent to the unit you wish to update. You may select as many units as you like to update,
but
only two units can be updated at a time.
6. As soon as you select the
Update
checkbox, the command will be sent to the unit to begin
uploading the firmware. The firmware is first uploaded
to the unit’s memory and then
installed. Even if the update is stalled halfway due to the unit shutting down, for example, the
unit will not lose its current firmware and so will continue to be operable.
7. When the upload begins the Firmware Update Center status will change to
Uploading
firmware file
and the unit display will read
Loading firmware
. The progress will also be
displayed on both hardware and software.
8. When the upload is complete the unit will reset and the Firmware Update Center will display
the status
No update required.
The firmware version will be updated as well.
Note:
You can quit the firmware update at any time by unselecting the
Update
checkbox in the
Update Center.
9. When the unit resets it will automatically reconnect via USB and will be in
Stop
mode.
However the unit configuration will still be saved. For loggers which have completed
firmware update, run the logger to start recording data again.
Checking Available Firmware Versions
1. Available firmware versions are displayed at the top of the Firmware Update Center dialog.
The information is taken from the firmware file Firmware.dfw stored in the DataSuite
directory. The same firmware file is used for all units.
