7.4 Upgrading Firmware

From time to time Clarity may change the Panther firmware to add features or correct minor prob-

lems.

The electronics module has a dedicated serial port

for downloading new firmware. This Load Data port
supports xmodem transfers of binary files at 115.2
kbps (only). The display continues to operate while
the new firmware is loaded.

Download the new firmware from www.clarityvi-

sual.com, Reseller area.

Check the current firmware version

Look at the About menu (

> About) to see if

you need to upgrade.

Connect the PC to the

Use a female 9-pin to RJ45 adapter, available at

electronics and computer stores and wire it as shown.

Connect a straight-thru cable with RJ45 connec-

tors at each end (computer network cable) from the
adapter to the Load Data connector.

Do NOT use the RS232 connectors on the electronics
module for firmware upload in . It won’t work.
