When the upgrade file has been specified, the BaracodaManager activates a modeless topmost window
showing the progress of the upgrade operation:
The user should not try to close this window or click any BaracodaManager buttons or other GUI controls as
long as the above dialog is visible.
When the upgrade operation has been completed, the user is shown the following popup:
Most readers (Pencil2, D-Fly, Roadrunners Evolution) turn themselves on automatically when they are ready to
be used. The Roadrunners and Pencil need to be turned on (they turn themselves off when the upgrade
operation is over).
Note: the upgrade process of the Baracoda Pencil reader is a little different from the schema presented above.
The Pencil needs to have its firmware erased first and only afterwards can it be upgraded. The newest upgrade
file (BPU_1_5.bpu) for the Baracoda Pencil reader can be found in the “upgrade” subdirectory of the
BaracodaManager installation directory (by default “C:\Program Files\Baracoda Manager”). The
BaracodaManager automatically detects if the reader’s firmware needs to be erased (first upgrade operation)
or if it can already be upgraded (second and final upgrade operation).
