Updating MGF Firmware
When the MGF is turned on, the first screen displayed will show the current MGF firmware version
(lower-right) as well as the MGF’s USB’s firmware, labeled CHIP in the menu (upper-right). The
MGF firmware versions can be updated if necessary, using the USB port on the controller. The
following instructions detail how to do both firmware updates. Each update is run separately.

Further software update information
MGF firmware updates can be supplied electronically, via email or by download. Firmware updates are named
according to their date of release. For instance the MGF Controller Firmware update
GFI0517A.BIN (.XUF)
can be
interpreted as GF=Gravimetric Feeder w/ Stepper, L=2012 (K=2011), 05=May, 17=March 17
th
, A=the first revision for
that day. During the update process detailed above, new firmware found on the USB flash drive is first copied to an
internally mounted SD card. From the SD card, the firmware is then loaded into the MGF. If there is ever a problem
with the MGF and the USB port cannot be used or the MGF firmware is corrupted and cannot load, new firmware can
be acquired from Maguire and renamed
UPDTFILE.BIN
for Gen5
or
GSUPDATE.XUF
for Gen6. This renamed
firmware can be loaded onto the SD card and re-inserted into the slot inside the MGF controller. When the MGF is
turned on, this
UPDTFILE.BIN or GSUPDATE.XUF
file will be automatically loaded into the MGF, restoring the
firmware.
