14. SOFTWARE Update
As is the case with most ZIMO components, the MX1 command station contains a micro processor
for which software that controls all functions is stored in a FLASH-EPROM. The software is often re-

The software is preferably replaced with the help of a computer and appropriate HEX files and an

15. The software ZST (ZIMO Service Tool)
The software ZST has been available for download at no charge from the ZIMO web site
since September 2004. It is suitable for easy updating of command stations and all
connected modules containing FLASH-EPROMS (MX21, MX31, MXFU…) and will continually be ex-
