Versions and Updating
Updating
The software inside the SDL can be updated by the user at any time to take
advantage of the latest features offered by MoTeC.
To update the SDL software version select Online | Upgrade Dash Version
from the Sport Dash Manager main menu.
Matching Versions
The version of software inside the SDL must match the version of Sport Dash
Manager software on the PC. If the versions do not match, Sport Dash
Manager will show a warning when it attempts to communicate with the SDL.
To check the version of Sport Dash Manager select Help | About MoTeC Sport
Dash Manager from the main menu.
To view the SDL firmware version, power up the SDL – the version is
displayed on the bottom line of the display for 2 seconds.
Configuration File Version
After the SDL version has been upgraded the configuration file in the SDL
must also be updated to match the new version. The display will show a
warning until a new configuration has been sent to the SDL.
Note that there is an option to automatically upgrade the configuration file in
the SDL when performing an upgrade. This eliminates the necessity to
manually upgrade the file and then sending it. (see Converting Older Version
