UPGRADING FIRMWARE AND FEATURES
FIRMWARE UPGRADE
New software releases may include a new version of firmware for the In-
Situ data-logging device. If the software detects a newer version of
firmware than that currently loaded in the device, you will be prompted to
upgrade device firmware when you connect. The upgrade process is brief
and software-assisted.
In order for the software to detect it, new firmware must be located in the
Firmware folder in the folder where Win-Situ or Pocket-Situ is installed.
Firmware is automatically copied to these locations when new software is
installed.
FEATURES UPGRADE
The miniTROLL and MP TROLL 9000 are available in several versions or
models, each offering a different feature set. Some models may be field-
upgraded to take advantage of a wider range of features. The field
upgrade involves keying in an upgrade code, issued by In-Situ when an
upgrade is purchased for a specific instrument serial number.
If you have an upgradable feature set, the Upgrade action will be available
in the Information pane when the device is selected in the Navigation tree.
If you have purchased a features upgrade for your instrument, press
Upgrade and key in the upgrade code issued by In-Situ Inc. Follow the
instructions in the Upgrade Wizard.
For best
performance, we
recommend you
upgrade to new firmware
when prompted by the
software.
TIP: If the
Upgrade button
is dim (not
available), the software
cannot upgrade firmware.
