9 .1 .2 Carrying out the firmware update

The firmware update is carried out using the memory stick and the ‘short’ USB cable 
ALI 12.503. The actual update does not require a PC.
Before starting the update verify that the USB memory stick has the following files 
on it.

1. Press 

e

 to switch OPTALIGN smart computer on. Wait for the dimensions 

screen to appear, then press 

q

 to view the battery capacity.

Before proceeding with the update ensure that the indicated nominal capacity 
of the battery is greater than 50%. If this is not the case, recharge the battery to 
full capacity first (if using the rechargeable battery package), or replace all six AA 
batteries at the same time.

2.  Attach the ‘short’ USB cable ALI 12.503 to the OPTALIGN smart computer 

socket.

3.  Insert the approved PRÜFTECHNIK USB memory stick ALI 17.451 into the ‘short’ 

USB cable.

The displayed files 

and folder are viewed 

by expanding the 

folder ‘optalign‘. The 

downloaded version is 

indicated by the prefix 

v3_xx_yyyy, where 3_xx 

represents the firmware 

version and yyyy the build 

number.
