UPGRADE FIRMWARE

Below is a procedure for loading the firmware into FLASH memory. The firmware update file transfer process should take about 30 minutes at 57,600 baud. It is assumed that iPort is already talking to the instrument and the instrument window is currently open.

NOTE:

DO NOT TURN OFF THE INSTRUMENT AT ANY TIME DURING THIS UPDATE If the instrument is turned off while burning the new image to the FLASH, it may require replacement of the CPU board, motherboard, I/O expansion board, and/or measurement interface board. To reduce this risk, make sure the instrument is running on clean and stable power before performing this update.

1. Close all instrument windows.

2. From the iPort menu, select Instrument > Update Firmware. Select TCP/IP or Serial, depending on the connection.

3. In the Update Instrument Firmware Program dialog box, enter the instrument ID (if using serial port) or the TCP/IP address (if using TCP/IP).

4. In the Open File dialog box, select the firmware update file, then click the Open button.

5. File transfer progress can be monitored by looking at the transferred blocks in the lower left corner of the iPort window as well as on the instrument's display.

6. Once the file transfer is complete, the instrument will automatically reboot. There may be some error messages regarding configuration and calibration files that are displayed, this is normal after a firmware update. At this time, the bootloader and application code in each of the low-level processors will be updated to the latest version.
