TANDBERG FieldView Device Software Updates
Software updates may be available for the TANDBERG FieldView Device and
starting with OS v3.xx consist of a package file and a manifest file as listed
in Table 8-1 Software update components. The package file contains the
components that are required for the software update. The manifest file is an
XML file describing the contents of the software update package.
Caution:
Do not rename the package and manifest files.

To update software, first make sure that the battery is installed in the
TANDBERG FieldView Device and external power is applied. Software cannot be
updated without both battery and external power present.
Note that if updating OperatingSystem v2.xx or lower, registry settings may
not be preserved and they may revert to factory defaults and screen calibration
will occur. Make note of your current Configuration settings and re-enter them
after update if desired.
Software updates require the updates to be available either on a formatted
SD card (see the section
SD Format
later in this chapter
for instructions on
formatting an SD card) or on a network accessible web server.
If the update will be from an SD card:
1.
Insert the SD card into the card reader of your PC and create a folder
labeled SysUpdate in the SD card’s top level directory (i.e. \SysUpdate).
Note: if another location is specified the default path will have to be
modified on the software update screen before performing the update.
Copy the software update files to the \SysUpdate folder on the SD card.
2.
Subfolders will not be searched for update files.
Remove the SD card from the PC and insert into the TANDBERG FieldView
