Updating 5200A Firmware

Like all microprocessor based instruments, it may be necessary to upload revisions

to the 5200A firmware. Download new firmware using the Firmware Updater utility

in AquaManager. A serial RS232 connection is necessary to run the Downloader

program.

The instrument firmware may become corrupted if any of the following occurs

during a 5200A firmware update:

Firmware Updater utility is closed;

-

AquaManager is closed;

-

RS232 cable is removed from 5200A or PC com port;

-

power is disconnected from 5200A.

-

If the 5200A’s firmware becomes corrupted and is not updated properly, the instru-

ment will need to be returned to YSI

.
