AN-X3-GENI 

 

January 2024

 

 

AN-X Firmware Update 

Use 

AN-X Firmware Update

 to transfer a firmware file to the microSD card on the AN-X.  

Firmware files for the AN-X3 have names that begin with AN-X3 and have extension *.qtf. 

 

WARNING! 

Do not update firmware in the AN-X while applications that use the 
AN-X are running. 

 

 

Browse to select the file, then click the 

Update Firmware

 button to transfer the file. 

WARNING! 

It is essential that you do not disrupt power while updating firmware, 
especially maintenance firmware, to the AN-X3 or while the AN-X3 is 
restarting following a firmware update. 

Interrupting power at some points in the update process could render the 
AN-X inoperative and it will have to be returned to the factory for 
reinitialization.
