Preface
The DA7 Upgrade Utility is a multifunction software manager program
specifically designed to allow you to perform operating system upgrades, as
well as backup and restore functions for the library, scene memory,
automation data, as well as setup data for the DA7.
Using the serial ports on the DA7 and your computer, data can be sent to or
from a DA7 and then saved to your computer hard disk for backup and
retrieval. The memories and programs can be retrieved individually, or in
groups. The retrieved memory and program titles can be edited using the
computer’s keyboard. The data, including edited titles, can be transmitted
between the computer and the DA7.
Installation
It is recommended that you perform a backup of your current data BEFORE
you perform an upgrade to your DA7's operating system.
Macintosh Version
1. Copy the files for installation file (DA7UPINS) to a folder on to your hard
drive.
2. Once you have loaded the file, you need to open the folder to gain access
to the following files:
DA7UPG - Executable file of the Upgrade Utility
V200R23.mot - Upgrade file for the DA7
CNV - Data Conversion folder for old backup versions
BKUP - Backup Data folder
3. Open the file “DA7UPG”.
4. Test the communication path between the computer and your DA7 by
clicking on the "VERSION" button on your computer in the open window.
If it is properly connected, you will see the version of software that is
currently in your DA7 displayed, and the “BACKUP” and “RESTORE”
buttons will become active. (You need to set up DA7 and Upgrade Utility
Configuration before test. To set up Configuration, read the following
chapter “Cables and Connections”, “Setting up the DA7”, and “[Setup]” in
“Operating the DA7 Upgrade Utility”.)
