Power Cycle 

When re-initiating the firmware of a UCD device the whole process cannot be done during 

one session and the UCD device need to be restarted between steps. Therefore, on certain 
point, user needs to 

power cycle

 the device (switch off power> wait for 10 seconds > turn 

on power). 

Click 

OK

 button on the dialog. 

 

Note:  

The procedure may take several minutes depending on the speed of the USB 
connection of the host PC.
