Gamry Instruments EIS Box, Руководство оператора, Страница: 27 / 52

Installation
27
The Interface 1000 (IFC 01004) in this system is shown with a green indicator because it is installed and ready
to run. The Reference 600 labeled My Ref600 has an orange indicator because it is recording the EIS spectrum
shown on the screen. The Reference 600 labeled Jims Ref600 has a white indicator, showing it is plugged in but
cannot be used. This is an indication of a version mismatch between Gamry Instruments Framework software
and the instrument’s firmware .
Firmware Update
Your EIS Box was shipped with the latest version of all its firmware. From time to time, Gamry Instruments
makes changes to the instrument
’ s firmware code and a firmware update is required to make use of the new or
improved code.
There are three separate firmware images that can be updated in the field on your EIS Box. The first is the
Instrument Firmware. This is the program that handles most of the functions of the EIS Box. The second is the
Communications Firmware. This program handles the communications between your EIS Box and the host
computer. The third is the PLD firmware, which you should only change if a Gamry Instruments representative
instructs you to.
Initiate the Firmware Update process using the Framework Options, Instrument Manager... command.
Appropriate update files can be obtained from the Gamry Instruments website at www.gamry.com. If you
encounter a problem updating the firmware in your EIS Box, please contact Gamry Instruments for assistance.
Caution:
Interrupting a firmware update can cause a catastrophic failure of your system.
Do not turn off the EIS Box, do not unplug the communications cable, and do not stop the operation of
the host computer when the USB LED is a continuous red color.
Do not interrupt a firmware update that is in progress. An incomplete update can render an EIS Box
inoperable until it is returned to Gamry for reprogramming.
Should the firmware update be interrupted, contact Gamry before starting the return process.
