Software: TC Icon and UpCon firmware
UpCon English Manual (2014-10-07) 12
Operating UpCon requires a TC Icon remote
(sold separately) or a computer running the
TC Icon software.
When you are working with a system involving
one or multiple UpCon units, you are interacting
with two types of software:
1.
TC Icon software:
TC Icon is a software application that you in-
stall on the computer(s) which you are using
to access, configure, operate and update the
UpCon unit(s).
TC Icon software is available for Microsoft
Windows
and
Mac OS X
operating systems.
TC Icon software is free and can be in-
stalled on multiple computers.
Downloading and installing TC Icon software
is described in this section of the UpCon
manual.
2. TC UpCon firmware:
UpCon firmware is the software installed on
every UpCon.
Every UpCon comes pre-installed with the
most current firmware version available at the
time of production. You can download newer
versions of UpCon firmware from the TC web-
site. Firmware updates will contain bug fixes
and/or new features.
UpCon firmware updates are free.
Use TC Icon software installed on your com-
puter (see above) to transfer firmware to your
UpCon unit(s).
Downloading and installing UpCon firmware
updates is described in “Updating UpCon
firmware” on page 74.
You should keep both the TC Icon software
running on your computer and the software
of your UpCon (the firmware) up to date.
Us-
ing up-to-date software versions ensures you
benefit from bug fixes and the latest features.
