The UTILITY Menu: Board Upgrade
This command opens the Board Upgrade pop-up window (Fig. 7.18) which allows to
upgrade the firmware of the boards plugged into the crate.
The window can be divided into two areas the upper one where there is the list of files
present in the system flash memory, and the lower one where there is a list of the

is the Firmware Release l.mn. For
example, the file containing the Firmware Release 1.01 of the board Mod. A1734 will be
