DE1285 Caption Decoder/VANC Monitor
The Upgrade subsection provides an easily accessible way to update the
firmware that comes pre-installed on the DE1285. The DE1285 can be
upgraded through the USB front panel as discussed in the System Setup
Menu section or the upgrade can be performed through the website.
Begin by downloading the most recent firmware update file from the
EEG website or from the ’Download DE1285 Upgrade’ link on the web-
site and saving it to a location on your computer. After downloading the
firmware upgrade, click on the
Browse
button to the right of the File
field, select the EEG firmware update and then click
Submit
to update
the firmware.
The Alarm Settings subsection allows the user to set a value in seconds
that captions can be missing for before a GPIO alarm is triggered on pin
1. To change this value, enter a new value into the text field and click the
Apply
button to update the No Captions Timeout. If you would like to
see this alarm on the logging section of the website you must set the ’No
Captions’ alarm by going to the Logging tab, clicking on the
Logging
Options
button and selecting the ’No Captions’ checkbox.
The lower part of the Settings tab is the Log Settings subsection, which
provides a way to set the date, time and time zone for accurate trigger
and alarm logging. The current date, time, and timezone can be seen to
the right of the
Set Date/Time
button. To change the Date/Time, sim-
ply use the dropdown menus to select the month, day and year and then
set the local time and time zone that you are in. Alternatively, you can
set the date and time by clicking on the
Copy Computer’s Date/Time
button, which uses the date and time from your current machine to set
the date and time. When using this option be aware that the timezone is
not copied along with the date and time information. To confirm the set-
tings, click the
Set Date/Time
button at the bottom of the Log Settings
section. The triggers and alarms will now have the correct timestamp
when viewed in the Logging module.
