Logicube Omniclone Xi ™ Software Updating Procedures
New and improved software will appear from time to
time on our web site at www.logicube.com. It is
possible to update the operating software in the
field by a user.
Two common ways are available:
1. Using the Compact Flash card
2. Using a parallel port connection
NOTE: Logicube provides a floppy disk that
contains a backup copy of the Logicube Omniclone
Xi™ software. This software is already loaded on
your unit.
Loading Software Using the Compact Flash
The new software (a single file always called
ocx.h86) has to be placed on the root directory of
the Compact Flash (CF). If a CF reader/writer is
available on your computer, ocx.h86 simply needs
to be copied to the root directory, possibly
overwriting the older version that’s already there.
Another file called ocxcfldr.h86 also needs to be on
the root directory of the Compact Flash Card.
NOTE: If a reader is not present, the Logicube
Omniclone Xi™ itself, in conjunction with the USB
dongle can be configured to behave like a CF
reader/writer. Please refer to “Connecting
Through the Software Setup Menu” in Chapter 7:
Compact Flash (CF) Drive.
Once the new ocx.h86 file is present on the CF, it is
a simple matter to make it “re-flash” the unit:
1. Remove the Master Drive from the unit if it is
connected.
