4 SOFTWARE UPGRADES
LSC Lighting Systems has a corporate policy of
continuous improvement to its products. The
ePRO software is subject to this policy as new
features are added and existing features
improved.
4.1 Software Upgrades
Software upgrades are performed using
CodeLINK software. CodeLINK is a Windows
based software program that allows the uploading
of software releases to the dimmer from a
Personal Computer or laptop. CodeLINK and the
latest Software releases are available from the
LSC Website
www.lsclighting.com .
CodeLINK operates with a serial cable that
connects between a computer serial port and the
DMX512 input connector on the ePRO dimmer.
