Manual # 26-0208100-00 / Revision E
ScreenSHAPER – Video Mapping System 39
Software Upgrade Instructions
Overview
The ScreenSHAPER units incorporate the system software in a Flash memory component. Flash memory allows
easy upgrades without the need to send the unit back to the factory due to software or firmware changes.
The loader utility provides the capability to update the system Flash module with the latest revision of software. The
upgrade utility can be run from a hard drive (recommended) or a floppy drive. Running the loader from a floppy drive
is discouraged due to the slow speeds associated with disk access.
