BROADCAST STL MANAGEMENT FIRMWARE
INTRODUCTION
A modern microcontroller (
µ
CU) controls all internal functions of the EXC/RTX19 stl family as required
by customer's preset, supervises the equipment and manages all the necessary tasks of measure, process
and remote control.
The internal microcontroller software or "
firmware
", is periodically revised to correct possible
defects or to incorporate new functions and peripheral module control. The firmware updating can
be done only at factory or at specially equipped laboratories by flashing a new progam over the old
one on the microcontroller without substituing any component. A special interface is required.
The EXC19 stl transmitter and the RTX19 receiver adopt different, incompatible firmware, because
of the different tasks required. Hence, particular care must be paid to install a correctly programmed
µ
CU for the transmitter or the receiver (TX19 or RX19 firmware).
With the exception of some specific transmitter or receiver menus, the user interface is identical for
both. The same applies to most of display functions and the operating system. As far as possible
great care was spent to simplify the software operations, to make it intuitive and not to change the
basic functions in case of new added features.
NOTE: new software releases may be provided to take advantage of experience and to add new
functions. Factory supplied equipment incorporate the latest stable firmware available at the time
being. The customer of an equipment which do not incorporate the latest release do not need to
change it unless there are explicit functional defects or needing of the new functions added.
SIELCO WILL NOT IN ANY CASE BE RESPONSIBLE OF POSSIBLE DAMAGES DUE TO
THE DIFFERENT OPERATING MODE OF THE EQUIPMENT DUE TO CHANGE OF ITS
INTERNAL CPU AND FIRMWARE RELEASE. WARRANTY, IN THIS CASE, IS LIMITED
TO SUBSTITUTION OF THE CPU CONSIDERED AS NOT-FUNCTIONAL OR TO ITS
REFUND.
