NOTE:
This function does not actually remove Images from the hard drive and
is not a secure erase of the image data. It simply marks all the hard drive
as unused and available for new images. The data remain on the disk
until overwritten by another image file.
Firmware Utilities
Firmware Utilities allows the firmware used by the TCP system controller,
Autoloader controller and the drives to be updated (depending on the drive
model).
Load System F/W
The system software that is used by the TCP to copy discs may be
updated from time to time, to add new features or support for new drives.
The following functions are used to update the firmware in the machine.
Load F/W From CD
This function reads firmware from a firmware CD-R and installs it in the
TCP Duplicator electronics. A firmware CD can be created by writing an
ISO-9660 CD-R with a TCP series firmware file in the root directory.
Selecting this option allows the system to read this firmware and update
accordingly. Once the system firmware is updated, the system will
automatically restart.
Load F/W XMODEM
This function is not available on the TCP. It is included for the use of
R-
Quest
approved service personnel.
Load F/W USB
This function reads firmware from USB memory stick connected to the
TCP autoloader via the USB port. This option will only appear if the USB
stick is already connected to the TCP and contains a valid firmware file
(*.rqf). Selecting this option then allows the system to read this firmware
and update accordingly. Once the system firmware is updated, the
system will automatically restart.
Load Drive F/W
The recorder manufacturer may update the software that is used by the
CD-R or recorders from time to time. This could be for bug fixes, new
features or format support, or to optimise the recording quality on new
media as it becomes available.
