Preface
Differences between the TG700 and TG8000 mainframes
The
fi
rmware upgrade procedure for the TG8000 is different from the TG700 and
is described below. In addition, the PC Tools software for the TG700 mainframe
included TG7Comm for transferring signal
fi

up and restoring presets and all user
fi

software tools have been replaced as described below:
The TG7Comm utility was replaced by use of FTP to transfer signal
fi

between a PC and the TG8000 mainframe.
The File Copy Tools utility has been replaced by using a USB drive to backup
and restore presets and all user data.
Firmware upgrades on the TG8000 mainframe can now be performed using a
USB drive or a network connection.
