Switching to the Sentinel V Real-Time Mode
(Sentinel V is currently configured for SC mode):
The Sentinel V Self-Contained system MUST have firmware version 47.19.xx or higher before
you can load the Real-Time firmware version 66.xx. If you see the message
“version has to be
greater than 44.17”
even though the firmware version is 47.19.xx, press
CTRL+F5
to continue.
The Sentinel V Self-Contained system MUST have a serial connector on the end-cap and the
user MUST have the 73D-3112-xxx underwater cable and AC power adapter to be able to
switch to the Real-Time mode.
If the system does not have the serial connector, underwater
cable and AC power adapter, once the 66.xx firmware is loaded, there is no easy way to
communicate with the system (see
). Once 66.xx firmware is
installed, the touch sensor is disabled.
