Creating an ASPEN

Installer Disk

If you do not have the disk supplied with the proces-

sor, go to either of the following sites and download the

ASPEN Installation Disk .iso file.
http://www.lectrosonics.com/aspensupport/
Link from the home page: http://www.lectrosonics.com
Save the file to your local drive in a familiar location.

Open a disk copier utility such as Roxio Classic and

select the operation to Burn from a Disk Image File.

NOTE: The .iso file cannot be simply copied to the

disk. The disk recording utility must run a process

that creates a disk from a stored image file.

The .iso file format is recognized by almost any disk

creation software.

Firmware Update

Procedure

1) Install ASPEN software. See the next page for an

example of the installation procedure.

2) Launch the software. After the panel opens, click on

File > Update. The Update Wizard screen will open

to confirm that the software is ready for a firmware

update, with instructions on connecting and config-

uring the processor.

3) On the processor, hold the recessed pushbutton

switch in with a pen or paper clip and turn on the

power to the processor. The unit will boot into the

Firmware Update... mode and the white Alert LED

on the processor front panel will glow.

4) Connect the processor to the computer with the

USB cable. When the USB connection is confirmed

(typically with a beep sound on the computer),

continue by following the on screen prompts in the

Update Wizard.

5) When prompted, use the “Browse” button to point at

the firmware update file and click Next to continue.

6) Do not disturb the USB cable connection during the

update process. The firmware update takes up to

15 minutes to complete. Be sure the computer does

not “Time Out” during the update process.

7) When the update is complete, click Finish to exit the

Update Wizard.

8) Cycle the power on the processor to restart using

the updated firmware.
