TETHERED CONTROLLER MX32, RADIO CONTROLLER MX32FU Page 17
The software update and installation of all data be-
lon
ging to the “Automatic MX32 Update” is now in
progress. This will take a few minutes.
After the update has finished the controller dis-
plays a
screen- prompt to remove the flash
drive.
After that, the MX32 always performs an
automatic reset.
Data backup on flash drive / restore from flash drive:
It is best (for clarity's sake) to use an empty flash drive for this purpose (See chapter Software-Update
about formatting); although it may contain updates or other data.
As mentioned above, the first table entry that be-
comes visible after the flash drive is plugged in, is:
"Save data to flash drive"
. If this is selected and
started (
A- Key
), a list of securable data such as "Ob-
ject Database", "Image Database"... appears.
This list may change depending on the software ver-
sion.

If there is a
backup
on the flash drive - this can be
from the device itself
or
from another controller
! -
the second entry
"Restoring the data backup"
be-
comes visible
and - after selecting it - the list of saved
data.
Each position is presented in two forms:
with
"... replace
" and "...
add
", depending on whether
the previously contained data of the respective type in
the controller should stay or be deleted.
Exporting the GUI data of an address to the flash drive:
only usable together with suitable versions of the decoder and the sound programmer ZSP
Unlike the data backup described above, the purpose of exporting is NOT to secure the data, but to
pro-
vide the GUI data for sound project expansions.
The exported data such as name, image, function
icons, and some other data are then integrated into existing or future sound projects, from where they can
be retrieved by the controller as needed; this saves the tedious "manual" input of the "GUI" on the control-
ler.
For this purpose, the entry
"Export GUI to flash drive "
is displayed in the table of contents. Upon this, a
file is created for the GUI of the currently active address (currently located in the foreground) and stored
on the flash drive. This is a memory-optimized format, so that a future transmission from the decoder does
not take too long.
NOTE: When the SOFTWARE-UPDATE FAILS:
The MX32 display remains dark
. In this case DO NOT disconnect the CAN bus cable and DO NOT
switch off the command station. A self-protection algorithm reloads the previous software to the mi-
croprocessor after a
5 min
waiting period. After this process is finished, the software update can be
tried again. An
error message
on the MX32 (cable version only) about the update of a (missing) ra-
dio processor is normal, please ignore this message.
