PROGRAM AUTO UPDATE
When the program is started up and the initialization window is displayed (see Fig. 25), the system automatically
verifies which program versions are in the computer and in the
Multi-Diag
Scope
and
Motortester
modules.
If there is a newer version in the computer (after the UpDate installation from the CD), the internal software (the
so-called firmware) will be overwritten either directly in
Multi-Diag
Scope
or in the
Motortester
module. The
indications are described in the following chapters Chap. I - 9.4.1 and Chap. I - 9.4.2. When the overwriting is
finished, the
Multi-Diag
Scope
program is automatically started up.
Note:
The overwriting takes a few tens of seconds or some minutes.
In the case of problems with overwriting (the so-
called „”stalling“), we recommend switching off the
power supply. After the reconnection and the program start-up everything will be reinitialized.
In the case of computer “freezing“ we recommend restarting the computer.
