that page. Pressing the HELP key on the Reviewer front panel will display the Help page. Use the

SOFTWARE UPDATES
Timespace recorders use proprietary embedded software in the form of
.XOS
files. Software updates
for Timespace DVRs and PCLink Suite are available through authorised distributors or by contacting
Timespace support;
. From PCLink V7.2 onwards, updates can be automatically
downloaded within PCLink.
Software can be uploaded to the recorder by copying an XOS file onto the removable cartridge using
the PC/USB interface, then inserting the cartridge into the recorder and navigating to the relevant menu
(see below). An example of the .XOS file name is
X300 V1.3.0.xos
Software Upload
1. Using the USB interface kit, copy the .XOS file from the PC to the cartridge, ensuring that no other
XOS files exist on the disk.
2. Insert the cartridge into the X300 and turn the key lock to the locked position.
3. Once the X300 has initialised, use the Reviewer to navigate to the SETTINGS MENU >
ADVANCED > and select LOAD SYSTEM UPGRADE.
4. There are three Load options to choose from;
LOAD WITH FACTORY SETTINGS (all menu settings will be reset to default values).
LOAD WITH CURRENT SETTINGS (menu settings will be maintained where possible).
LOAD WITH CARTRIDGE SETTINGS (menu settings will be loaded from the cartridge).
In all LOAD instances, the XOS will be loaded from the cartridge into the X300 internal flash memory.
The “with cartridge settings” option will also load the
Settings
from the cartridge e.g. if replicating
settings from another X300. The load will take approximately 30 seconds and when the X300 reboots,
the current software version is displayed on screen. It can also be checked in the SETTINGS MENU >
SYSTEM SETTINGS > SYSTEM INFO menu.
WARNING
– X300 MAY BECOME UNUSABLE IF POWER TO THE UNIT IS LOST DURING A
SOFTWARE UPGRADE.
Software can be downloaded from the recorder to the cartridge. This feature can be used to replicate
settings from one recorder to another when setting up multiple units.
Software Download
1. With the cartridge locked in place in the X300, go to the SETTINGS MENU > ADVANCED and
select the SAVE SYSTEM UPGRADE option.
This will save the current X300 Software and Settings to the
current.xos
file on the cartridge. The
cartridge could then be used in another X300 to load the Software and Settings (using the above LOAD
WITH CARTIDGE SETTINGS option). Also, the current.xos file could be copied from the cartridge onto
a PC using the USB kit and kept as a master settings file.
