HBM regularly releases new firmware introducing new features and providing device improvements.
First, download the current firmware release from www.hbm.com/daq-support.
CAUTION
Allow the firmware upgrade to run completely. Before upgrading, make sure that no other users are logged in and no other processes are running. Failure to do so may render all hardware unusable, requiring a factory reset.
NOTE
Updating the unit firmware deletes all system log messages.
There are two methods to update eXRCPU firmware.
Wait for the upgrade process to complete and the unit to reboot. Upon completion, the footer indicates the new firmware version.
NOTE
In a networked system of eDAQXR units, there is an option to update all units at the same time. This not only saves time, it ensures that all units are running the same firmware version. It is strongly recommended that this option be used.
