progress of the file transfer is displayed. After the file transfer is complete, the
actual upgrade operation is made. Finally, the GSG-5/6 unit will reboot with the
new firmware installed.
The Windows Personal Computer onto which you will download the new firm
ware must have
GSG StudioView installed on it, and must be connected to your
GSG unit e.g., via Ethernet.

Once you have prepared the firmware upgrade as outlined above, proceed to the topic
"Uploading StudioView Files" below.
4.9.5 Uploading StudioView Files
GSG StudioView's Uploader tool is used to upload scenario files and firmware updates from
your StudioView PC to a connected GSG unit, and vice versa. (For more information on firm
ware upgrades, see "Updating the GSG Firmware via StudioView" on the previous page.)
Note that for uploading scenarios the Uploader is the preferred tool over the File Manager
(see "Transferring Files With StudioView" on page 120), since the Uploader automatically
uploads
all
files belonging to a scenario. The File Manager is meant to transfer individual files
e.g., a standalone trajectory file.
