Upgrading the Firmware
Overview
In this section, you’ll see how to upgrade the firmware in the PosiTrack 30 using the
SOFTROM software program. Your PC must be connected to the PROGRAM DB-9
connector on the Central Controller or camera control unit connector using a
Programming Cable.
If power is lost during the download process, the unit will power up with the same
set of code it had prior to the download. There is a small window during which a loss
of power can be catastrophic. If power is lost between the erase of flash memory and
the completion of copying the new boot code from RAM to flash memory, the unit
will not operate at all when power returns.
To update the firmware in the touch panels:
1. Place the AMX Control Disc into the Compact Disc player of your PC.
2. From the Start menu, go to Programs\AMX Control Disc\AMX DOS
Tools\SOFTROM.
3. Click the SOFTROM program. A screen similar to the screen shown in Figure 224
appears on your computer.
Caution
Power loss during SOFTROM
download can seriously affect
the PosiTrack 30 and any
previously stored information.
Note
These steps follow the
installation of this software
from the AMX Control Disc.
